google-street-view

As the question implies, I'm looking for a way to programmatically screen grab a given panorama, I.E set a longitude and latitude and POV (pitch, yaw and zoom) and save the grab to the server. So far the most promise has been shown by Using .net to control the google earth com api ( http://earth.google.com/comapi/index.html ), however I am unable to find a definitive answer on whether on not the street view layer is accessible via this means. Embed the street view swf inside another swf that opens a socket to the web server to listen for requests, and passing commands (such as adjusting lat

According to the Google documentation, when you create a marker on a gmap the marker is also 'copied' onto the StreetView version of the map. However, onClick event binding are not copied (or at least don't appear to be), so I can't open the InfoWindow on the marker when in StreetView. Ideally I'd actually be able to define different content for the StreetView version of the InfoWindow, but right now I can't even get the same InfoWindow to open. I'm using code from the Google examples to create the InfoWindow binding on the main map markers as follows (wrapped in a function): google.maps.event

I am trying to request Google Street View images so that I can render the full panorama onto a sphere in 3D. Unfortunately, this API only allows requesting up to 120° FoV. Ideally I need an equirectangular image that I can project onto this sphere. I then checked what requests Google Maps made when requesting panorama images for insight, and found that it makes requests similar to this: https://geo0.ggpht.com/cbk?cb_client=maps_sv.tactile&panoid=${panorama_id}&output=tile&x=${tile_x}&y=${tile_y}&zoom=${zoom_level}&nbt&fover=2 where each zoom level splits the image up into more tiles, giving

Is there an event that fires when the Street View has finished loading all the tiles that make up a panorama? Currently if you change the position manually ( StreetViewPanorama.setPosition ) the transition is rough, and there is no way to tell when the new files have all loaded. As a result, it's not possible to display a loading GIF unless it's given an arbitrary timeout such as 2 or 3 seconds. Any ideas? You can see all available events for a panorama here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#StreetViewPanorama Have you tried using the position_changed

Is there a way to detect when a user enters and exits StreetView in Google Maps under API v3? I want to trigger an existing 'Hide Menu' function when the user enters StreetView (as the menu isn't relevant) and then re-show the menu when they exit. Observe the visible_changed -event of the streetView, the visible -property will be true or false (open or closed) function initialize() { var mapOptions = { center: new google.maps.LatLng(52.5498783, 13.425209), zoom: 8 }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions); google.maps.event.addListener(map
