business view by default - google-maps

Question

I am trying to add a map to my website, but I would like to have it show the business view by default rather than going from satellite to street view and then to business view.
Is this possible?

Answer 1

If business view is what is now called indoor map, once you reach the view you should like to show on a map, you could simply retrieve the link to the view or to the iframe embed code, as explained in https://support.google.com/maps/answer/144361?hl=en
indoor map example: https://goo.gl/maps/SAhHg5hhLrGdLjaJ9
However, embedding the map via iframe source code gives you limited chances of customization.
If you need a higher level of customization you can use the street view service of Maps Javascript API (you will need an API KEY )
example: http://jsfiddle.net/eg561mx8/
var lat2 = 48.87708978509529, lng2 = 2.3392088036591754;
var map;
var panorama;
var panoramaService;
var streetView;
function initialize() {
map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
zoom: 14,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(lat2, lng2),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
streetView = map.getStreetView();
panoramaService = new google.maps.StreetViewService();
panoramaService.getPanoramaByLocation(
new google.maps.LatLng(lat2, lng2),
100,
function(streetViewPanoramaData, streetViewStatus) {
if (streetViewStatus != "OK") {
alert("no street view at this location I'm afraid");
} else {
streetView.setPosition(
streetViewPanoramaData.location.latLng);
streetView.setVisible(true);
}
}
);
}
