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 can't find the library / service / api name to add a street view bar as seen in this picture:
I just need to have a panorama of images that opens a street view for specific locations.
I've dug through the API docs and I can't find this api.
Thanks

I am using a javascript Google Maps V3 to show the location of places I have on my site, I can only offer a small view on my site so anyone who wants to see the larger map on google should either click on the Google icone on the bottom left, or in some cases I saw a link/button on the map stating "click to show on Google Maps".
So my question is how to show the link/button on my map that can open the same location on google maps site.
Google map provides an option to customize the link by adding some parameters for viewing map.
You can get the list of parameters here:

You'll need to pass the parameters to the link.

I've recently picked up some old photos of my city, and I was wondering if it is possible to use Google earth/maps to recreate the parts of the city that my photos show.
Most pictures are in street view, so it would be really great to have the old photos as a basis of a street view google map. Some are aireal photos so the "ordinary" map view is also interesting.
Is it possible? What's my first step?
Check out the docs on how to create a custom streetview panorama here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/streetview#CustomStreetView
There's also an example of a custom "street view" in the docs, using the reception area of Google's Sydney office here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/streetview-custom-simple
That example only uses a single source image:
It looks like the hardest part will be creating either the "stitched" panorama image, or the individual tiles. Unfortunately Google leaves that to the reader, but there is a link to Wikipedia with some panorama tools that may help:

I have implemented the street view of the google map using the google javascript api v3 and i want to show the blue shadow area in google map according to their corresponding street view display.
Can anyone help me out to resolve this problem.
The "StreetviewOverlay" is not available in v3. If you would like it, you can star (vote for) this Enhancement request
(doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in it, only 9 stars so far)
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
