Is it possible to have a google map embeded street view panorama of a given address in your page?
All the codes I have came across work with coordination, I'm looking for "address", since if you just use coordination you will have to set pov and all that,
Google seems to do that itself, look at the panorama picture here:

Yes, using the Google Maps Javascript API V3. Take a look here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#StreetView
You can also embed Street View on your page by just using Google Maps.
Search for the address on Google Maps.
Go to the Street View for the location.
Click the link button in the upper-right hand corner above the map.
Click the 'Customize and preview embedded map' link.
A new page will open up with some customization opens and the code to embed the map/image on your page.
Yes you can. All you need is a google decoder who will decode your address. Another way is to directly pass your address as a part of the url to google.
When using decoder, you will get the result in the form of a latitude longitude object which you can use to reset/set your map's marker
There is no way to accurately set the heading automatically and no way to set the pitch and fov (field of view) - BUT if you figure these out manually you can create a URL that fetches a static image with those settings from Google
Take a look at this tutorial on the Street View Image API

I created a public map into my gmail account. I added to the map different locations. I want to insert the map into my website and I want to show the locations of the places in the left sidebar like in the google maps site, but I can't find how.
This is the map as shown in my site:
This is what I want to have: (as viewed in the google maps page)
I embedded the map into my page using the google embed tool
When entering into "Customize and preview embedded map" there is no option to include the sidebar:
This is the address of the map:

¿Any suggestion? Thanks for helping
The only way I know how to do that is like this:

(uses a third party parser geoxml3 to parse the KML and render it as native Google Maps Javascript API v3 objects, which are accessible via the sidebar entires)
How do I embed google street view to my site
I want to show a user location upon visiting my site.
Updated: Is there any clear tutorials or links for Google Maps
You can do it with Google Maps API2
and here is the Google Maps API2 Documention on Street View
Just keep in mind it needs Flash.
update:
and to get the user location, you can use 'The Geolocation API Specification [which] is [a] part of the W3 Consortium’s standards But be warned: it hasn’t been finalized as yet.' consider looking at this question for an example code and more details.
Besides of using the latest Google Maps API version, you Can embed any panoramic view of Google Street View very easily. Being in Google Maps while browsing in Street View, you will find on the left page upper corner the street name and next to the marker a 3 dots vertical line.
You need to click on the 3 dots which are shown next to the street name info and then a form will pop up to give you the option to embed a html iframe with size options on the panoramic view wanted.
I hope it helps.
I made a custom map with a couple of placemarks on it. I have copied html code and pasted it into my web page. Everything works fine. The map and placemarks are displayed correctly.
And when I press the bottom left corner button "Click to see this area on Google Maps" I can see my map directly on maps.google.com but the placemarks disappear.
Is it possible to show the placemarks on my map right on the maps.google.com? or can I manage placemarks for my custom map directly on maps.google.com using API?
I think the closest thing to what you are after is MyMaps. My maps lets you create map content ( or import KML, KMZ, or GeoRSS files), on maps.google.com. I think you can programaticaly create maps via the Google Data API.
I am not sure what your requirement is, but if your content is static you could create a MyMap up front and then load that url rather than maps.google.com.
Here is the example of what i need -)
We send request to maps.google.com to show some area (sending latitude, longtitude, zoom) and then we specify the placemarks we want, not by hand (using MyMaps) but using API. And we need to do it directly on the maps.google.com, not on my own site or home page with embeded or even programm builded map.
Thanks to Cannonade. The links you've shared helps me a lot -)
I know I can do it with the Google Maps API, but do you know if there is a way to change the marker in an embedded Google Map?
I want to replace the default "A" button for a "B" button or the marker with just a dot in the middle.
I haven't played around with embedding Google Maps before (I generally go straight to the API for stuff like this). I tried a couple of approaches:
I figured maybe the embed syntax would be the same as the static maps api. So I grabbed a static maps URL, copied the markers param from that and tried sticking it into the iFrame URL. This didn't work so much.
I created a Google MyPlaces and customized the marker to use the one your provided. This created a Test map which had the appropriate marker icon. I then grabbed the embed code and stuck it on a test page and voila!
Actually I had the same problem but didn't use any of the methods above and thought I share:
If you only want a marker as I did but don't want to use API then simply fool google into thinking you want a route planned using the GET tags "saddr" and "daddr"
"saddr" defines your start location (post code , street name+ number, whatever)
ONLY define saddr and leave out daddr and google maps will by default still show the marker for "A" (your start location) exactly where you want it , all in iframe without API.
how do get different link of "send to friend", "print map", and "get direction" link in the marker info box related to that marker.
Is there any API for that to get this type links.??
Thanks in advance.
There is nothing explicit in the Google Maps API that will show the maps.google.com InfoWindow , you will have to build that functionality into your own GInfoWindow. For the functionality you describe, you could do the following:
send to friend - Some server side code to email your site URl to a user specified email address?
print map - Link to a cut down page that displays a Google Static Maps image (for the equivalent location). The various browsers will do a better, more predictable job of printing an image than they will a Google Map DIV.
get direction - You can use the GDirections object to GeoCode to addresses and display the driving directions between those two points (on the map and with instructions).
