Street View Google Maps
Sebrina Lobianco
Lat/lng from geocoding tends to not be recognized by street view as being too far from a street, sometimes getting the wrong street altogether, because the lat/lng it generates may be off the street, as it tries to match the location of a house.
If you would like to pass the value (address) via php or any other code type then simply it will not work, you cannot use google maps without API to enhance your requirement. Lat & Lng is basic practice to show map and not require any api, but if you would like to pass additional properties then you will have to use google maps api to do so. Detailed documentation can be found here
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.
We are using an arcade script to generate a Google Streetview link currently on web maps (From the code posted here -> -online-questions/create-url-link-to-google-street-view-for-arcg...) and I am trying to adapt it to work on field maps.
The Google Maps Embed APIlets you display Street View images on your site or blog as interactive photospheres. Google Street View provides panoramic views from designated locationsthroughout its coverage area. User contributed photo spheres, and Street Viewspecial collections are also available.
The service provides panoramic 360 degree views from designated roads throughoutits coverage area. Street View's API coverage is the same as that for theGoogle Maps application. The list of currently supported cities for Street Viewis available at theGoogle Maps website.
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?
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.
I recently got a new iPad Pro. I have been using Google maps and street view for years on my other devices. However, street view does not work on my new iPad Pro. The picture of what would be the street view shows in the side bar on the right but when I touch to activate, I get a white screen with the street view tool bar at the top. In some instances I've gone into the "report a problem" menu from the blank screen. There is no box to check for this particular problem but if I back out and then back in a few times then exit Google Maps and go back into the Google maps, sometimes the street view will work.
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.
My street view in google maps stopped working in a recent update.It starts ok, and I can rotate the view, but when I move to another location I only get a black screen, and need to reenter googlemaps from the front page to get normal view again
This isn't really a solution to the problem, but more like a band-aid. If you click on the "?" help-bubble icon, you can select the option to use the classic Google maps. That seemed to work for me using Chrome on Linux -Version 36.0.1985.125 .
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.
Google Maps is a web service that provides detailed information about geographical regions and sites worldwide. In addition to conventional road maps, Google Maps offers aerial and satellite views of many locations. In some cities, Google Maps offers street views comprising photographs taken from vehicles.
Google Maps Live View provides real-time Google Maps directions in a real-world setting. It is essentially a miniature map at the bottom of the screen. Users can also plan a journey to anywhere in the world, and get 3D images and live satellite views of the Earth.
Maps can be downloaded for mobile access when a user is offline by tapping on the profile icon and then tapping Offline maps. A user can also tap Select your own map, and Google Maps will suggest maps based on history, upcoming trips and saved addresses. To download a specific map, pinch in and out to set the download area and tap Download.
Using Google Street View on a PC or laptop is just as easy. Simply navigate to maps.google.com and zoom into a city of your choice, where the feature is available. Here, you should find a Street View icon on the right bottom of the map. Drag and drop it on to one of the blue lines on the map in the area you are interested in. The screen should transform into the Street View mode.
Happily, such poignant images can be retained even if Google updates the street view. There is a little clock icon to the top left of the app that allows you to go back to images captured from the past.
Street View, the Google Maps feature that allows users to explore an area through 360-degree panoramic street-level images, was first launched in India in 2011. Google said it has partnered with local giants Genesys and Tech Mahindra to relaunch the service, which is now live in 10 Indian cities. The company expects to roll out the service to 50 Indian cities by the end of the year.
