Street View Plotting

[Sam]

Hi, I am new to the group recently, I have been trying to design a
object capturing system using google maps API. What i am trying to do
is allowing a user to click on the street view and plot an object from
that reference point.. Is there any sort of event handler in street
view functionality to allow me do that?I had a quick search to the
group and I couldn't find anything.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I be very greatful.
Thanks
Sam

Let me have a shot at this. You're probably going to have real troubles getting this to work, and the dominant reason is that the "canvas" on which users click has no depth. You'll at best get a target direction - but no idea how "far" away from "here".

A Googler may be able to weigh in with better ideas, but unlike the opposite (taking a point from the overhead view and showing it referenced to the that point in the streetview) this has position and depth available making perceived movement on rotation/shift achievable.

Surely you can estimate the distance of this by creating a gird of
sort on thie image itself. Higher up the image you go the further away
it is.
Up to a certain point..
