Page Summary

  • 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 a StreetViewPanorama object using JavaScript or TypeScript, specifying the desired location, point of view, and zoom level.

  • The HTML structure includes a dedicated div 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 a StreetViewPanorama within a separate <div> element, rather than in conjunction with a map.

Read the documentation.

TypeScript

let panorama: google.maps.StreetViewPanorama;

function initialize() {
  panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(
    document.getElementById("street-view") as HTMLElement,
    {
      position: { lat: 37.86926, lng: -122.254811 },
      pov: { heading: 165, pitch: 0 },
      zoom: 1,
    }
  );
}
declare global {
  interface Window {
    initialize: () => void;
  }
}
window.initialize = initialize;
index.ts
Note: Read the guide on using TypeScript and Google Maps.

JavaScript

let panorama;

function initialize() {
  panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(
    document.getElementById("street-view"),
    {
      position: { lat: 37.86926, lng: -122.254811 },
      pov: { heading: 165, pitch: 0 },
      zoom: 1,
    },
  );
}

window.initialize = initialize;
index.js
Note: The JavaScript is compiled from the TypeScript snippet.
