Google Maps Street View App [BEST] Download

Did the policy in Google Maps for -18s change recently?
Since a couple of weeks our students (primary school) can no longer use the pegman in Google Maps. They can place the pegman on the map, but street view does not open.
I manage a real estate site on Squarespace. I've been adding links to google maps street view into embed blocks for about 3 years now and never had an issue until recently. What is happening now is that when I add the link, it tells me it successfully located the url but it does not bring the link in and thus the street view map does not load. Has anyone else started to have this problem. Can someone help try to troubleshoot the issue?
so this will enable the Pegman that you can drag to switch to the street view but I want to disable the close box and the zoom. I did find this API documentation but I'm not sure how to set the controls when I'm not manually creating the street view myself. Any help would be appreciated.
Situation: I'm working on a map feature for a client and I need the ability to get screenshots of a street view, and then display them as a carousel (similar to how Google does it natively). They can choose whatever locations they want in their CMS.
For example, you might have done a good ground survey and recorded an excellent GPS trace of some roads, but you've forgotten a road name (and it doesn't appear on the OS data) so you use StreetView to virtually walk down that street and read the name off the street sign.Likewise you might use it to check exactly where that postbox was, or what the exact name of that shop on the corner is.
I don't think this is quite as simple as just tracing off the Google Map. Tracing is obviously prohibited by Googles own T&Cs and pretty dodgy from a copyright point of view, as you are clearly just copying their work.
Just get out there and see the street for yourself. Better still look at all the rest of the area that StreetView doesn't show, footpaths, cycleways, parks and so on. You might enjoy the fresh air and you will certainly learn something new almost every time you go out, even about areas you thought you knew.
Similarly, use of Street View depends on how you use it. I've used it for checking signed routes of numbered highways ( -February/048393.html - note that nobody objected to that; the reversion was because of my choice of ref tags). But be careful not to use any information not directly from photos: for example don't use the overlaid street names to see what intersection you're at.
In relation to the specific case given in the question, there shouldn't be a problem with using a photo to see what a street name is as long as you don't use Google's map data to position yourself. But there are probably better sources such as official subdivision plats that form part of the legal description of the land.
Short answer:
a street sign is not copyrighted; a photo is copyrightable; a street sign inside a photo is not copyrightable.
Long answer:
Aerial imagery and streetView are not comparable.
In first case, images are rectified using complex algorithms (compensate distorsions with Digital Elevation Model, positions and angles from the camera, noise and colors filtering, etc). Tracing on them is not allowed without permission because you don't copy facts only, you also copy those georeferencing information.
In second case, when you read a street sign on a StreetView picture, you use the content of the picture, not the picture itself. This is 'fact', the street sign is not copyrighted by Google, neither Google made any creation on that content. It's true that to find the picture and display it on your browser, the StreetView interface had to use the image georeferences. But this is a 'mean' to find the picture, not the content of the picture, this is not what you are copying for OSM (which is again just the street name, a 'fact').
If you need some evidence, it is always possible to detect copies from aerial imagery since each provider has small artefacts which can be detected in the copy. When you copy a street sign, it is simply impossible to detect if it's coming from SV or a normal survey. People saying that it's not explicitely allowed and then forbiden without any evidence about creation or added value violation are just spreading FUD.
What can be a problem is copying the whole content or a significant part of this database collecting facts. That's why Ed Parsons says "checking the odd street names is OK.. but every street name I would suggest would represent a bulk feed" ([1])
A google arial photograh as its possible to see by using the street maps, is just a good comparison to refresh your memory and yes sometimes 'old'.I even have the impression that the streets in appearing in Google have the same errors in the basic layer for OSM. Its like looking at your neighbour in the classroom and coppying the wrong answers and getting the question afterwards 'were you able to see it' and both end up with a low value.
If you need more integrated uses of our products for commercial use, we have multiple APIs available through Google Maps Platform to help you build and embed custom maps for your website or mobile app. When using these APIs, certain restrictions may apply.
However, when trying today, although the " OpenStreetMap contributors" watermark appears at the bottom of the plot, no map is drawn. My latitude and longitude columns are in the correct format. If I "zoom out" by changing the x-axis scale, then the map is drawn when I get far enough out, but this is way less than "street level" detail, and there has been much higher detail available in Denmark previously (See attached screenshots).
Thanks for looking into this, but unfortunately the maps are still (or again?) not working. Here the two charts on the left use the JMP map service. The middle one (slightly smaller region) is blank; I expected it to return results even when 'zoomed in' as far as the case on the right.
The Snow Removal Mapping Application shows snow removal status, priority, method, and winter parking restrictions throughout the City of Idaho Falls as described in City Code Title 9 Chapter 5 (PDF). This map shows each snow zone area and street described in the ordinance. For more information regarding snow removal see the Snow and Ice Control Policies and Procedures Manual.
The Street Sweeping Mapping Application shows street sweeping zones throughout the City of Idaho Falls. Review this map to know when our crews will next be in your neighborhood to sweep the streets. See the Street Sweeping webpage for additional details.
The Snow Removal Parking Restrictions Map (PDF) shows winter parking restrictions throughout the City of Idaho Falls as described in City Code Title 9 Chapter 5. This map shows each snow area and street described in the ordinance. For more information regarding snow removal see the Snow and Ice Control Policies and Procedures Manual.
NYC Street Map is an ongoing effort to digitize official street records, bring them together with other street information, and make them easily accessible to the public. With this app, you can find the official mapped width, name, and status of specific streets and how they may relate to specific properties. You can also see how the street grid has changed over time in your area.
Removing the aerial view of your house from Google Earth is more difficult because Google buys the images from other companies. To blur your property, you would have to contact the source of the satellite image, which isn't readily available.
