Is there a way to insert an address into a link and have it bring up the street view?
For instance:
<img src="http://maps.google.com/?q=ADDRESSHERE&view=streetview" />
Street View now has a static images API. Here's an example:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=640x480&location=43.0635309,141.3253261&fov=120&heading=235&pitch=10&sensor=false
Here's the docs:

Might be best to use Google Maps JavaScript API v3 to do it. See documentation and sample code at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#StreetView.
Here's code from that page (with a few extraneous bits removed) that displays a street view:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Google Maps JavaScript API Example: Embedded StreetView</title>
<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var bryantPark = new google.maps.LatLng(37.869260, -122.254811);
var panoramaOptions = {
position:bryantPark,
pov: {
heading: 165,
pitch:0,
zoom:1
}
};
var myPano = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById("pano"), panoramaOptions);
myPano.setVisible(true);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="pano" style="width: 425px; height: 240px"></div>
</body>
</html>
Note that the code uses latitude and longitude rather than address. If all you have is a street address, you can use Google's Geocoder object to convert an address to a LatLng object.
You can embed whole the Street View on your page. Use googlemaps GStreetviewPanorama object for that. You can look at the example here:
http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/streetview/streetview_lazy.html

I am facing a weird issue with Google Map API V3. I had a previous version of the code, which I migrated to new version V3. The extension is XHTML since this particular file is used as a control in other application. I have created a sample code, which when I execute as stand alone runs fine and displays the google map, but when the similar file is called through another application it is causing an issue where map is loaded but is invisible. Just for information i am using this file from Informatica IDD application. Below is a snippet. Looking for any kind of lead.

Further Analysis
I think i found the root cause but not the solution. The issue is my google map is being called through JSF. I guess some update in IE11 is breaking the functionality. The similiar problem i have encountered in link below. http://www.mashups4jsf.com/gmaps4jsf-examples2-3.0.0/pages/mapAjax.xhtml It have google map invisible in IE 11 but shows up when it is opened in firefox. I have similiar kind of issue with IE11. Any suggestion how to fix it?
You have "amp;" in your script src url, but I think that is probably as result of your copy/pasting. Definitely check your src url to make sure you are actually loading the google maps api.
My guess is that your real problem is this line:
google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
You are not loading the Google API so google.setOnLoadCallack() does not exist when you are calling it.
Add this to your page just before the script tag for the google maps:
<script src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
You will need to add your API key if you want it to work for your application when it is deployed to your server.
Alternatively, you could put a callback function in the url for the google maps script:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?callback=initialize" async defer></script>
I'm using Google Maps API v3, and the map language is set according to user's browser locale.
Is there a way to change this setting and force map to load in US English?
There is this, but it changes the region language, i.e. street names etc., I also want to control the map buttons and the interface language.
Try This:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Localizing the Map</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
html, body, #map-canvas {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&language=en"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644)
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
And you can load map in any specific language by passing the value of language code parameter with in this
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&language=en"></script>
Some example language codes are given here:
pass en for load map into english similarly ja for Japanese and
fr for French
I hope this is what you are asking for.

Happy coding!!

i am using languague of saudi arabia
I'm developing a web app for an HP Compaq L2105tm touch screen on a windows 7 box. When I bring up maps.google.com in Chrome the map works just fine with pinch zooming and other touch events you'd expect from a touch screen. However, when I use the following code to do a basic google map embed, the touch events do not work as expected. (Pinch zoom does not work.)
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style>
html, body, div#map {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
<script>
(function() {
var div = document.getElementById('map');
var lat = -36.5;
var lng = 150.5;
var options = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng( lat, lng ),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
zoom: 8
};
var map = new google.maps.Map( div, options );
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>
My question is why does maps.google.com work with pinch zoom and my map not work with pinch zoom in the exact same browser/touch environment?
UPDATE
This issue was handled in the bug
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35824421
and was solved in version 3.27 of Google Maps JavaScript API in December 2016.
I have the same problem and actually spoke with someone on the Google Maps Api team and they are aware of the issue. Unfortunately, there is no timetable for when it will be addressed. So I guess you can take solace in knowing that they know it is an issue.
Seems like the new api addresses this

Is there a good way to integrate a google map to the apache openmeetings 2.0？
I search it and find use about openlaszlo http://code.google.com/p/openlaszloincubator/source/browse/trunk/googlemapsonlaszlo/?r=32#googlemapsonlaszlo%253Fstate%253Dclosed
and the site http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/source/browse/trunk/singlewebapp/WebContent/lps/components/incubator/googlemap.lzx?r=3529 which don't base on openmeetings 2.0！
Does any one realize it？
Google has deprecated the Google Maps Flash APIs in late 2011.
"Consequently we have decided to deprecate the Maps API for Flash in
order to focus our attention on the JavaScript Maps API v3 going
forward. This means that although Maps API for Flash applications will
continue to function in accordance with the deprecation policy given
in the Maps API Terms of Service, no new features will be developed,
and only critical bugs, regressions, and security issues will be
fixed. We will continue to provide support to existing Google Maps API
Premier customers using the Maps API for Flash, but will wind down
Developer Relations involvement in the Maps API for Flash forum."
Therefore - if you are not already an existing Google Maps API Premier customer - you will not be able to utilize the Google Maps OpenLaszlo component in the incubator. You should instead use the Google JavaScript Maps API v3. The map object can be integrated using the <html /> tag in the SWF runtime. If you only plan to use the DHTML runtime you could attach the map object directly to the display object of a view.
Since the current version of OpenMeetings still seems to use the SWF runtime as the default target runtime, that leaves you with the option of using an iFrame through the <html src="" /> tag.
Here is a simple example based on the code you had in your comment. The example uses two files: One LZX file, and one HTML file containing the Google Maps example. Here is the LZX code:
<canvas height="500">
<class name="showGISWindow"
extends="view"
width="464" height="440">
<method name="setLatLong" args="lat,lng">
this.maps.callJavascript('centerMap(' + lat + ', ' + lng + ')' );
</method>
<button text="Show New York"
align="center"
onclick="parent.setLatLong(40.69847032728747, -73.9514422416687)" />
<html name="maps" src="gmaps.html"
x="15" y="45"
width="${parent.width - 30}"
height="${parent.height - 45}" />
</class>
<showGISWindow id="gis" x="10" y="10" />
</canvas>
And the corresponding gmaps.html page content, which is loaded into the iFrame:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Google Maps JavaScript API v3 Example: Map Simple</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
html, body, #map_canvas {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script>
var map;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),
mapOptions);
}
function centerMap(lat, lng) {
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng));
map.setZoom(11);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map_canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
When the button is clicked, the OpenLaszlo apps calls the function centerMap(lat, lng) in the HTML page, and will center the map to New York. Here's a screenshot of the application in the SWF10 runtime:
I came across this when I did a search on SO:
Zip Code to City/State and vice-versa in a database?
But I'm wondering, why can't we just use the Maps APIs for this? Has anyone tried doing this?
use the google maps api Geocoder
Yes, it's pretty easy to do it with Google Maps Geocoding getLocations().
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Geocoding example</title>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var geocoder;
var map;
var address = "10001"; //NEW YORK zip
function load()
{
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
geocoder.getLocations(address, addToMap);
}
function addToMap(response)
{
place = response.Placemark[0];
point = new GLatLng(place.Point.coordinates[1],place.Point.coordinates[0]);
map.setCenter(point, 13);
marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(place.address);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()" onunload="GUnload()">
<div id="map" style="width: 500px; height: 500px"></div>
</body>
</html>
You could give it a try online on Google code playground.
Have fun!
It's pretty easy to use the Geonames webservice apis for this, specifically the postalCodeSearch method. Works great in my experience unless you're issuing multiple queries/second, although caching results is generally worthwhile. (ie: they do not change frequently.)
