Google Philippines Maps Street View
Nichele Seibel
How can I use Google Maps and Google Street View Map in SAS Visual Investigator. I already have the latitude and longitude data. It works on the default open street view map but I want to use Google Maps and Google Street View Maps. I tried to change the Base Maps' default but I don't know how to use google maps instead. I searched in the net for any guide but I cannot find anything. Thank you.
Do you have the Geo Map custom control available through Manage Investigate and Search > Code Editor? Solution Extensions are listed along the left hand side of the screen. If it's available, you can use the links in the previous post depending on the overlay you want to use. If not, I can share the code and walk you through the steps on how to add it to your system. Do you have access to the internal postgres database?
I'm trying to access a company own ESRI ArcGIS server but, it seems not to work:
This config is not working...
Did you have any suggestions? Google and Open Street map are working in the environment...
These are the coordinates latitude: -37.8136, longitude: 144.9631 . It should be somewhere in Melbourne(I searched it in google maps and I can verify that it is really in Melbourne) but if I open it in streetview it shows a place somewhere in Saudi Arabia. Whats weird is the mini map in lower left shows that Im still in Melbourne.
In the Maps app , you can look around some places with 360-degree panoramic views. For example, you can take a virtual walk through the streets or orient yourself to landmarks you can use to navigate when you get to your destination.
Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides interactive panoramas from positions along many streets in the world. It was launched in 2007 in several cities in the United States, and has since expanded to include all of the country's major and minor cities, as well as the cities and rural areas of many other countries worldwide. Streets with Street View imagery available are shown as clickable blue lines on Google Maps.
Google Street View displays interactively panoramas of stitched VR photographs. Most photography is done by car, but some is done by tricycle, camel, boat, snowmobile, underwater apparatus, and on foot.
Street View had its inception in 2001 with the Stanford CityBlock Project, a Google-sponsored Stanford University research project. The project ended in June 2006, and its technology was folded into Street View.[3] The technology was launched on May 25, 2007, in the United States.
In May 2008, Google announced that it was testing face-blurring technology on its photos of the streets of Manhattan.[4] The technology uses a computer algorithm to search Google's image database for faces and blur them.[5] Street View was integrated into Google Earth 4.3, the Maps application on the Apple iPhone, and the Maps application for the S60 3rd Edition. In November, the drag-and-drop Pegman icon was introduced as the primary user interface element for connecting from Maps' 2D view into Street View's 3D view. When Pegman is dropped onto a particular set of coordinates in Google Maps for which Street View data is available, Street View opens and takes over the whole map window.
In 2009, a full-screen option and Smart Navigation were introduced. Smart Navigation allows users to navigate around the panoramas by double-clicking with their cursor on any place or object they want to see.[6] In May 2011, indoor views of businesses (Google Business Photos) were announced.[7] After the pilot phase of several months, the project was rolled out in autumn.[8]
With the release of Android 4.2 in November 2012, Google invites users to contribute panoramas of their own using supported devices. Google highlights user-contributed panoramas with blue circle icons on Maps. The company also created a website to highlight places in the world where one can find them.[9] In 2013, businesses such as shops, cafs and other premises could pay a photographer to take panoramic images of the interior of their premises, which were then included in Street View.[10] Google sets up a program to let third parties borrow the Street View Trekker (a backpack-mounted camera).[11] Business interior views are shown as small orange circles. In 2014, Street-level imagery from the past can now be optionally seen, if available, for a given street view.[12]
In 2015, a partnership was announced between Street View and the environmental monitoring company Aclima. Cars carry sensors to detect pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and particulates.[13] In October, support for Google Cardboard was announced, allowing users to utilize Street View in 360-degree virtual reality.[14]
In 2017, imagery inside the International Space Station was added to Street View. In August 2017, Google also allowed users to create their own Street View-like blue paths for the connected photospheres that are sufficiently close to one another.
On September 5, 2017, Google announced that they were improving the quality of the street view panoramic photo by revamping its mapping vehicles with all-new high-resolution camera systems and artificial intelligence. The new Google cars have been seen in various American cities since March 2017, as well as in Japan since August.[15] The first images taken with the new generation of cameras were available online on September 13.[16] In October 2017, the makers of the Insta360 Pro announced the certification of the first "Street View auto ready" camera for US$3,500; it uses six lenses for a 360 view and comes with Stitcher software.[17] In addition to purchase, the camera rig is also available to qualified entities as part of the Google loaner program, with 50 cameras available to loan.[18]
On December 3, 2020, Google announced that users could contribute to Street View by capturing video using their augmented reality-supported phones using the Street View app.[21][22] Google shut down its dedicated Street View app on Android and iPhone and ended support on March 21, 2023. The Street View app allowed users to take and publish their own 360 photos. Google says that users can still upload 360 photos using StreetView Studio.[23]
Street View is available as a component of Google Maps and Google Earth, as a web application, and as a mobile application for Android and iOS. Originally, Google Maps used Adobe Flash for Street View.[24] Google overhauled Google Maps in 2013. The newer version uses JavaScript extensively and provides a JavaScript application programming interface.[25] At the time of their release, the new Google Maps and Street View were measured slower than the old version in various setups.[26][27] A user can switch to the old version of Google Maps.[28][29][needs update]
The drag-and-drop Pegman icon is the primary user interface element used by Google to connect Maps to Street View. Its name comes from its resemblance to a clothespeg. When not in use, Pegman sits atop or beside the Google Maps zoom controls. Occasionally, Pegman "dresses up" for special events or is joined by peg friends in Google Maps. When dragged into Street View near Area 51, he becomes a flying saucer, and when dragged near the Florida Keys or Hawaii, he becomes a mermaid. When viewing older views, the Pegman in the minimap changes to Doc Brown from Back to the Future.[30] At Loch Ness, Pegman turns into Nessie wearing a tartan hat, where Street View includes coverage of the lake itself as well as the nearby A82 road and rural areas.[31]
Google announced in May 2017 that it had captured more than 10 million miles (16 million kilometres) of Street View imagery across 83 countries.[32][33] Maps also include panoramic views taken underwater such as in West Nusa Tenggara underwater coral, in the Grand Canyon, inside museums, and Liwa Desert in United Arab Emirates, which is viewed from camelback.[34] In a ten-day trek with Apa Sherpa, Google documented Khumbu, Nepal with its Mount Everest, Sherpa communities, monasteries and schools.[35]
In June 2022, Google announced the company is relaunching their Street View service in India. The announcement came six years after the feature was banned in India over security concerns. The company has partnered with local technology businesses Tech Mahindra and Genesys to aid in the relaunch of the service. As of July 2022[update], the service is live in 10 cities in India.[36]
Street View imagery has come from several generations of camera systems from Immersive Media Company,[37] Point Grey Research (now FLIR Systems),[38] and in-house.[39] The cameras contain no mechanical parts, including the shutter; instead, they used CMOS sensors and an electronic rolling shutter. Widely deployed versions are:
Data-recording equipment is usually mounted on the roof of a car. A trike (tricycle) was developed to record pedestrian routes, including Stonehenge and other UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In 2010, a snowmobile-based system captured the 2010 Winter Olympics sites.[39] Shopping trolleys have also been used to shoot the insides of museums, and in Venice, the narrow roads were photographed with backpack-mounted cameras, and canals were photographed from boats.[43] A portable backpack-mounted Google Trekker is used in outdoor terrain. For instance, the six main paths up Snowdon, United Kingdom, were mapped by the Google Trekker in 2015.[44]
In 2017, Google used eight 20-megapixel cameras. Two cameras were facing left and right to read street signs and business names.[45] Laser range scanners from Sick AG for measuring up to 50 meters at 180 in the front of the vehicle[46] are used for recording the actual dimensions of the space being photographed. LIDAR scanners from Velodyne were added in the 2017 update. It is mounted at 45 to capture three-dimensional depth information and positional information.[45] Accurate positioning was done via a Global Positioning System, a wheel speed sensor, and inertial navigation sensor data.[39]
