Street View

The Street View tool allows the user to browse 360 imagery in MapStore from different supported providers such as Google Street View or Cyclomedia Street Smart.

Note

The Street View plugin is not active by default in MapStore due to licensing reasons. It is anyway ready to be configured for application contexts using the desired provider.

Google Street View

Through the button available in the Side Toolbar, the tool can be activated so that it is possible to navigate the map with Google Street View.

When the tool is activated, a window opens and the streets highlighted on the map so that the user can select one of them with a simple click of the mouse.

By clicking on a street in the map, the tool window displays the Street View and the user can navigate it.

  • Zoom in/out on the street
  • Use the Pan Interaction to navigate all-around the street
  • Enable/disable the Full Screen

Cyclomedia Street Smart

If the Cyclomedia Street Smart has been configured as a provider for the MS Street View tool, the user experience is the same: the tool can be activated through the same button in Side Toolbar.

Note

The Cyclomedia Street Smart provider can be configured on the Street View plugin as documented here
