Custom Street View Panoramas

  • This example demonstrates how to create a custom Street View panorama using the Google Maps JavaScript API.

  • It showcases a custom panorama of the Google Sydney office without using a map or default Street View imagery.

  • The code defines functions to fetch custom panorama tiles and construct StreetViewPanoramaData.

  • Both TypeScript and JavaScript code snippets are provided, with the JavaScript version compiled from TypeScript.

  • You can explore the sample interactively through JSFiddle or Google Cloud Shell, or clone the repository to run it locally.

This example displays a custom panorama of the Google Sydney office. Note thatthis example doesn't use a map or default Street View imagery.

JavaScript

Set the StreetView to display// the custom panorama 'reception' which we check for below.constpanorama=newgoogle.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById("map"),{pano:"reception",visible:true},);panorama.registerPanoProvider(getCustomPanorama);}// Return a pano image given the panoID.functiongetCustomPanoramaTileUrl(pano,zoom,tileX,tileY){return("https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/full/images/"+"panoReception1024-"+zoom+"-"+tileX+"-"+tileY+".jpg");}// Construct the appropriate StreetViewPanoramaData given// the passed pano IDs.functiongetCustomPanorama(pano){if(pano==="reception"){return{location:{pano:"reception",description:"Google Sydney - Reception",},links:[],// The text for the copyright control.copyright:"Imagery (c) 2010 Google",// The definition of the tiles for this panorama.tiles:{tileSize:newgoogle.maps.Size(1024,512),worldSize:newgoogle.maps.Size(2048,1024),// The heading in degrees at the origin of the panorama// tile set.centerHeading:105,getTileUrl:getCustomPanoramaTileUrl,},};}// @ts-ignore TODO fix typingsreturnnull;}window.initPano=initPano;
Note: The JavaScript is compiled from the TypeScript snippet.
