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 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.

      pov: { heading: 165, pitch: 0 },
      zoom: 1,
