newbie at a loss

[Eric Naitove]

first and foremost here is my map page

http://parking.fsu.edu/routes/garnetTEST.asp

I have an access database that I have long & lat and description. I
pull a recordset (repaeting) and it populates the map. I am using a
web plugin (web assist Promaps for Google).

What I am attempting to do is have the little guy available that you
can drag and have the actual live street view. I am at SO MUCH of a
loss here. And this is a really big issue here at the University
(FSU) any help would greatly be appreciated

That map is coded against v2 of the Google Maps API. 

There is no pegman (the little guy you refer to) in v2, or at least Google dont provide it, so would have be recreated yourself. 

v3 of the Maps API, does provide pegman. Not familar with Promaps, to know if it has a v3 version available - or if its easily converted. Doesnt look to use any particully advanced v2 functionalty (ie all stuff available in v3)

I doubt you can get a working streetview/pegman in v2. Upgrading your code to v3 shouldn't be too hard for something like this though.  You can keep the code to pull information from the database and use what it returns to create markers in a v3 map. The code in there already looks extremely complicated for what is really fairly simple: you basically need to create a v3 map centered in the right locations for each page, define an infowindow, define custom marker types, and create the markers based on the data from the database and place them on the map that each open an infowindow with the right descriptions.  You can even create the links on the side in javascript.

I would strongly suggest you move to v3.

Have a look at these examples:
