I have a workflow with Z1:

  1. Synchronized camera time with ricoh apps.

  2. Record videos, and run gps logging apps.
    I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.basicairdata.graziano.gpslogger

  3. Export .gpx files form apps, load it to gpx.studio
    https://gpx.studio/

  4. Depend the video length, forwarding start time(A clock icon on left toolbar).
    Ex. video is 1min 30sec, the original start time is 6:30:00, should set start time 6:31:30

Reason: the video metadata “encoded date” is finished recording time, so need shift gpx time to align.
If you want more accurately(or bed satellite signal and streetview studio reports GPS nogood), gpx studio can splits track(even editing points), keyin the start time from video metadata always works fine.

  1. Exports modified gpx file, and upload video and gpx files to streetview studio.

  2. Result https://maps.app.goo.gl/6XkeCprB2r8DwA7XA?g_st=ac

This recorded by Z1, 7K(same photo resolution) 5fps(h.265 150Mbps) setting from old Google streetview apk, but the stitch line is not good.
