Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge

By

The US National Fish & Wildlife Service is responsible for running the J.N “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island. “Ding” as it is known to the locals is a fantastic destination which had been left uncharted by Google Street View. With our Trekker backpack and transportation provided by the USFWS we were able to successfully map this national treasure for everyone to enjoy.. We also took our 360 cameras inside the visitor center to round out the virtual tour experience (check out those bathrooms!).

Project Scope: The refuge consists of several trails and locations. Our goal was to create 360 images and Google Street View imagery for the following attractions:

  • Wildlife Drive
  • Visitor Center and award winning bathrooms
  • The Indigo Trail
  • The Wildlife Education Boardwalk
  • The Bailey Tract

Sanibel Seashell Industries

By

Sanibel Seashell Industries is one of the oldest purveyors of seashells and shell related merchandise on Sanibel Island. Their retail store is extended with an online presence at seashells.com and they needed to update  Google Maps with immersive 360 images of the retail shopping experience. After a day of staging panoramic photos in both of their buildings we submitted them to Google and repositioned each of the interior photos accurately. Here are the results of that effort (indicated by blue dots on the map):

Here is a live look at a few of the images:

Periwinkle Park Sanibel FL

We created a “Blue Line” on Street View for this iconic Sanibel location. All images were recorded using the Insta360 Pro on our custom backpack a.k.a “The Trekker”.

Here is what things looked like before our visit (park is in green):

And now with our Street View updates – a navigable blue line runs right down the middle:
