Google Maps API - Street View?

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:48:33 GMT

Working with G Maps as well, question though. I am trying to implement a street view to get a look at offices in city areas. I have not yet found this in the API, any ideas?

Thanks - Andrew

It looks like Street View should be accessible via the API. Here's a page from Google that may get you started: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Streetview

I have created a map of US, more specifically I am looking at South Carolina at this point for testing and proof of concept. Right now I have over 200 "points" formed by latitude and longitude. What I want to do is use the streetviewer API, and once drilled down to a specific lat+long combo, display a view of the office if available. Just having a little trouble figuring out how to implement this aspect into the script function in QV.

Are you trying to get the map image via a URL like in the sample app? I haven't been too deep into the QlikView implementation of Google Maps, but I have done some map generation.

It looks like the Street View url will be slightly different. First, the parameter "&layer=c" activates Street View. The Lat/Long uses the "cbll" parameter. And you have some additional options using the "cbp" parameter. I'm not sure if there are some good, general defaults for these additional options. Here's a good link to the various parameters: http://mapki.com/index.php?title=Google_Map_Parameters#Street_View
