Working on a qualtrics survey where Q12 involves the participant uploading a photo. We will be doing surveys in the field and thus the participant will most likely take a picture with their phone.
I would like to create a subsequent heat map question, where the participant can mark a point on the photo they just took/uploaded. I have managed to get the uploaded graphic to display statically by adding <img src="${q://QID12/UploadedFileLink}" alt="Uploaded image"> in the html view of the question, but cannot figure out how to use that photo as the base for the heat map question so they can mark a point.
Is this posible?
Thank you!

Forgive me if this has already been asked but searching on 'Google Maps Views' brings up rather a lot of irrelevant hits.
Is there an API to display the nearest (say) 5 photos to a particular long/lat location from the photos available on Google Maps Views? I don't particularly need them on a map, just to embed thumbnails of the photos and link to the originals.
eg I have a page for Callanish stone circle. Could I embed images from Views based on a long/lat query?
Here's what is on Views for that location:
https://www.google.com/maps/views/explore?hl=en&gl=gb&vm=1&ll=54.596562,-3.104517&bd=54.586641,-3.121855,54.606481,-3.087179&z=15&pv=2
I read that Views is what is supposed to be taking over from Panoramio. I know Panoramio had an API but that's being shut down.
If this is possible, does anyone have an example of something similar? Showing photos on a map would be OK if that's the only way to do it.
Many thanks

The Google Maps API can do it and the imagery carousel at the bottom of Google Maps website is a good example of it.
Nearest photos
You can retrieve the nearest photos to a location using the Places Photo feature, which is part of the Places library. As you want multiple photos, you need to use Place Details requests - function getDetails(). It will return up to ten PlacePhoto objects.
You probably want to submit a small height/width since you create thumbnails. And send another request with a larger height/width when a thumbnail is clicked.
Nearest Street View panorama
If, by chance, a road close to Callanish stone circle has been photographed by Street View, you can add this imagery as well.
Requests for Street View panoramas include a radius parameter. The callback function returns the nearest imagery within the requested radius. See this example. Thereby, you can retrieve one panorama by passing a very large radius.
I am Public History major, mapping historical buildings in Annapolis MD. I made a Google Spreadsheet with the 1,415 historic properties and all documentation from fed and state databases. I am not a coder. I want to turn this into a mobile walking tour map where people can choose the type of house from the legend, like all Victorian Homes, or all Colonial Homes, and have them plotted to view and walk to.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to choose a text column, like primary style: Victorian, and make it the legend?
2. Can I add audio files to a fusion table, so I can add stories about the property or the person who build the property, so people can listen to the story?
3. It there a way to turn this map into an app?
Again, I am not a coder, but I am taking two classes next semester to learn about making apps (HTML5), and I need to know if this is even possible, and if you have any stuff I can read that will help a laymen, I'd appreciate it.
Here is the link to the fusion table: Historic Annapolis Map (https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1RUffU8cRaz6o_1XPlH8XyhGLT6PB04v2ly6OAec)
Thanks.

Is it possible to choose a text column, like primary style: Victorian, and make it the legend?
You could do this with some coding, but the automatic legends only work for marker icons when you use the bucketing approach rather than storing the icon names in a column,
Can I add audio files to a fusion table, so I can add stories about the property or the person who build the property, so people can listen to the story?
Sure, as long as they are hosted on YouTube or Vimeo.
It there a way to turn this map into an app?
You can use Tools > Publish to get either an <iframe> that can be embedded in another site, or the HTML and JavaScript to put in your own page. But it there's no automatic way to create a mobile app.
I want to create an embedded Google Maps on my non profit website. I've asked around to a few "professional" developers, and they all want thousands of dollars... in case you missed it, this is a non profit.
What I want to do is embed a Google Map on my website that will:
Allow anonymous users to type in an intersection, (ie: Woodward and Fort), grab the map, pan and zoom.
Allow users to anonymously add markers to the map. These markers will be pre-set, one for "suspected drug activity," another for "illegal dumping," "dangerous structure," etc...
Allow users to anonymously comment on those markers and have that activity take place in an "Info Box" on that marker. The comments should be saved in the info box for other anonymous users to see. It'd be nice if there were some way I, as an admin, could have those comments appear in a custom admin window so they can be easily printed out and taken to the police.
Allow only the site administrator to delete markers.
The anonymous users should not be able to move or delete a marker once its placed. Whatever happens on the map should pretty much stay there for anyone to see until it gets deleted by an admin.
Long story short, I live in Detroit, MI and have my entire life. I've traveled the world, but home is home and I love it. I see young people like myself being passionate about the city but most of us don't know how to engage and even though we're outraged by whats going on in our neighborhoods, we're complicitly silent on the problems. I want to create this site so people can keep a public record of the problems in the neighborhoods so the police can do something about it. A second map would share positive news on the city to show that its not all doom and gloom and there are things that are beautiful, fun, safe, and worth-while here.
If you don't mind pitching in some time to help, I'd appreciate it very much. But if you've got an idea on how to code it, I can try to do it myself.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for your input.
Thanks everyone for your support. In response to Duncan here is my specific question:
How can I embed a map on my site but still have a place for visitors to type in an intersection and be taken there while still on my site?
Thanks!
Google provides a pretty basic tutorial for implementing google maps here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial
I am currently converting a number of simple Google Map Street View links into URL requests for static Street View images. Most of the conversions work except for a few odd instances which I am struggling to explain.
Firstly, in the normal way, I access Google Maps as a regular user and find the position on a road in London I want to see called London Wall, and I point upwards and eastwards. This is the resulting link: (please test it and you will see a prominent building called Winchester House with a smooth curved exterior in the flash Street View used by Google consumers):
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Winchester+House,+London+Wall,+London,+United+Kingdom&hl=en&ll=51.516287,-0.083299&spn=0.007838,0.018196&sll=51.522309,-0.080509&sspn=0.06227,0.145569&oq=winchester+house,+london+wall&hq=Winchester+House,&hnear=Wall,+1+Denbigh+Rd,+London+W11+2SJ,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=51.516305,-0.083422&panoid=U6g4EoZt5cM4e2WFiDLoxA&cbp=12,268.2,,0,-16.66
Secondly, if I adopt the same coordinates from the above link to get a Static Street View Photo via the following URL request, I get a different result:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=800x600&location=51.516305,%20-0.083422&fov=110&heading=268.2&pitch=16.66&sensor=false
This second view is still looking westwards along London wall, but the Static Street View photo is set approximately 50+ metres on the wrong global coordinate (please try the link above and you will see a footbridge is in front of Winchester House, which lies in the distance).
This is confusing when both URLs above appear to be using the same global coordinates. (I have referenced the same coordinates for many other different links and both URLs usually show the same view).
I would be grateful for anyone's help on this and understand whether anyone has experienced similar problems or inconsistencies with different Google coordinates.
Many thanks

hi i wanted to display a us state on google map with borders drawn,
when the user opens up a page i wanted to show in the center that state...with borders drawn.
additionally i wanted to put a button on that page so that user clicks it and draws a rectangle on the state, the system will just have to popup the latitude and longitude of the selected area, and area ...
can you anyone guide me through the steps? or is there any good reference that i could follow. thanks in advance!
as an example of what i mean

I would start in the Google AJAX APIs playground, here: http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/#map_simple
There are tons of samples here and by playing with them you should get an idea of how to do what you want and/or come up with some more specific questions.
