Google Maps Street View lets you explore places around the world through360-degree, street-level imagery. You can explore world landmarks, view naturalwonders, navigate a trip, or show the outside of your business.
Google Street View provides panoramic 360-degree views from designated roadsthroughout its coverage area. The coverage available through the SDK is thesame as that for the Google Maps for iOS app or You can read more aboutStreet View and see the supported areas on an interactive map, atAbout Street View.
Each Street View panorama is an image, or set of images, that provides a full360-degree view from a single location. Images conform to the equirectangular(Plate Carre) projection, which contains 360 degrees of horizontal view (afull wrap-around) and 180 degrees of vertical view (from straight up tostraight down). The resulting 360 degree panorama defines a projectionon a sphere with the image wrapped to the two-dimensional surface of thatsphere.
Street View panoramas are viewable with the GMSPanoramaView object. Thisobject provides a viewer that will render the panorama as a sphere, with acamera at its center. You can programmatically control the orientation of thecamera, as well as several properties customizing the viewer.
Both the panoramaID and the coordinate are stored as properties of theGMSPanorama object. You can request a GMSPanorama from theGMSPanoramaService using either the coordinate or panoramaID. Theresulting object will include both pieces of meta-data, as well as an array oflinks to nearby panoramas.
The moveNearCoordinate:source method allows you to specify a source.A source is useful if you want to restrict Street View to only look forpanoramas which are outside. By default, panoramas of locations are eitherinside or outside. Note that outdoor panoramas may not exist for thespecified location.
You can customize the viewer by restricting which gestures are available. Bydefault, panning, zooming and traveling to adjacent panoramas are all enabled.Individual gestures are controlled through properties of GMSPanoramaView.These properties enable or disable user controlled gestures; programmaticchanges are still possible when the gesture is disabled.
Google Street View imagery is viewable from within the Google Maps for iOSapplication. You can launch the Google Maps for iOS application in streetview mode with the comgooglemaps URL Scheme by setting the mapmodeparameter to streetview. An example of a URL that will launch Street Viewappears below. For more information, refer to the URL Schemedocumentation.
The Street View location defines the placement of the camera focus for animage, but it does not define the orientation of the camera for that image.For that purpose, the GMSOrientation object defines two properties:
Once you've created the GMSPanoramaView, and it has either a configured ordefault camera, you can change it in one of several ways. When you change thecamera, you have the option of animating the resulting camera movement. Theanimation interpolates between the current camera attributes and the newcamera attributes.
You can modify the GMSPanoramaCamera object, and set it on theGMSPanoramaView's camera property. This will snap the camera to the newpoint of view with no animation. A GMSCameraPosition may be created to configureany combination of orientation and zoom.
You can animate a transition by calling theanimateToCamera:animationDuration: method of GMSPanoramaView.Additionally, you can control the camera using Core Animation. This is madeavailable through the custom CALayer on GMSPanoramaView,GMSPanoramaLayer.
Markers will scale in size as a function of the distance between the marker'sposition and the GMSCameraView's location. If this distance becomes toogreat, the marker will become too small to display and will be hidden fromview.
You can listen to events that occur on the Street View panorama, such as when auser taps on the panorama. To listen to events, you must implement theGMSPanoramaViewDelegate protocol. See the overallguide to events and the list of methods on theGMSPanoramaViewDelegate.

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.
We are experiencing the same situation where students can not drag the pegman to a street. However, they can click on the street, then select street view and it opens. Appears to be a issue just with the pegman?
Just noticed this here as well. I recommend reporting this to support and maybe they can take this into consideration. You may want to try the Feature Idea's area of this forum as well to see if this can be fixed for edu users.
We have noticed the same issue with both Maps and Earth websites...street view not working on either of these websites for student accounts that have been aged restricted within their OU of Google Workspace for Education
Users in our Staff OUs that are not age restricted work just fine. If I temporarily move a test student account to a Staff OU, or create a sub OU without age restrictions, that account will then work just fine, move it back and it stops working again ?
It is a very strange issue... We have also noticed that the traffic layer does not work, it's greyed out. The Google Maps phone app also does not work at all as guessing it relies heavily on the traffic feature
We just opened a case, too. It works for students under 18 when they use a personal account, but not their school acocunts. So it seems that it *was* impacted by the changes earlier this school year.
Talk to the Google Admin at your school for they should be able to change the settings to permit students to use Google Maps. Kindly review the following Google Workspace Admin Resource: Turn Maps on or off for users
The specific issue is that they cannot make use of Street View on either of the apps and this restriction is directly connected to whether or not the OU is designated for under 18 year olds.
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?
Detroit Street View takes personal privacy seriously. Images are captured in publicly accessible spaces (primarily streets) and personally identifiable information is carefully anonymized through blurring of faces and license plates. Also, because the program is focused on observing stationary physical assets, the frequency of data collection at any one location is generally too low to gain insight into individual human behavior.
Street view imagery is available from multiple other sources, but Detroit Street view is unique due to its frequency of data capture, coverage extent (including parking lots, alleys, etc.), and the type of data products generated.
Detroit Street View aims to capture every street at least once each year, and multiple times per year in priority areas/corridors (examples: areas with active development, scheduled blight investigation or remediation, demolition activities, etc.).
Anyone can access and use the data. Many departments and agencies within Detroit City Government may use this data for property assessments, asset inventories, emergency response, and general reference. Data is incorporated into multiple web applications and enterprise systems.

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.
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...
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 .
These are the heartbreaking words of writer Sherri Turner who started a viral thread on Twitter about how bittersweet it is to happen across an image captured by the Google Maps van that showed a time when someone you loved was alive.
