How do you get the URL of a particular place on Google Street View?

<< < (5/6) > >>

vtk:
Maybe it makes a difference whether you're using the JavaScript version or the Flash version of Street View…

NE2:
Maybe I wasn't using Street View at all?

formulanone:
If you want to embed a Google Maps image, try this between [ img ] tags:

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=xx.xxxxxx,-yy.yyyyyy&size=640x400&zoom=17&maptype=hybrid&sensor=false

- you don't have to use precision up to six digits with the coordinates.
- size is "width x height" in pixels (seems to top out at 640px by 400px)
- zoom: higher number as you get closer to the ground (1=world map projection, 12=city level, 17=street level)
- maptype: hybrid, satellite, terrain, (leaving this off gives you a "standard" map)
- sensor: true or false (doesn't seem to make a difference?) but it must be included




Hope this is helpful to everyone!

Oh wait, there's a "new Google Maps" on the left. My mind simply ignored that as an ad.

empirestate:
This question doesn't seem to be one of them, but many of the shortcomings of StreetView in the new version of Google Maps seem to have been recently addressed in a major update. Specifically, you can now drag Pegman around to the blue highlights from within the StreetView mode...but yeah, I still don't see where you can grab the URL easily, particularly the handy short URL.

(My Places also seems to have returned, which I'm happy about.)
