Street View Containers

  • This example demonstrates embedding a Street View panorama within a designated<div> element on a webpage, independent of a Google Map.

  • It showcases how to initialize aStreetViewPanorama object using JavaScript or TypeScript, specifying the desired location, point of view, and zoom level.

  • The HTML structure includes a dedicateddiv for the panorama and loads the Google Maps JavaScript API with a callback to initialize the Street View.

  • The provided CSS styles the panorama container to take up the full height of the browser window.

  • Users can interact with the embedded Street View panorama, exploring the location virtually.

This example displays aStreetViewPanoramawithin a separate<div> element, rather than in conjunctionwith a map.

TypeScript

letpanorama:google.maps.StreetViewPanorama;functioninitialize(){panorama=newgoogle.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById("street-view")asHTMLElement,{position:{lat:37.86926,lng:-122.254811},pov:{heading:165,pitch:0},zoom:1,});}declareglobal{interfaceWindow{initialize:()=>void;}}window.initialize=initialize;
Note: Read theguide on using TypeScript and Google Maps.

JavaScript

letpanorama;functioninitialize(){panorama=newgoogle.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById("street-view"),{position:{lat:37.86926,lng:-122.254811},pov:{heading:165,pitch:0},zoom:1,},);}window.initialize=initialize;
Note: The JavaScript is compiled from the TypeScript snippet.

CSS

html,body{height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;}#street-view{height:100%;}

HTML

<html>  <head>    <title>Street View Containers</title>    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css" />    <script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>  </head>  <body>    <div></div>    <!--       The `defer` attribute causes the script to execute after the full HTML      document has been parsed. For non-blocking uses, avoiding race conditions,      and consistent behavior across browsers, consider loading using Promises. See      https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/load-maps-js-api      for more information.      -->    <script      src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyB41DRUbKWJHPxaFjMAwdrzWzbVKartNGg&callback=initialize&v=weekly"      defer    ></script>  </body></html>
