Google Street View new API version on KGIS Viewers
Author: Bryan Lynn/Wednesday, September 14, 2011/Categories: KGIS Depts
Google has changed from api V2 to api V3 and KGIS has updated the Google api to V3. In the new api version Google is no longer using flash. In the KGIS Viewers (My KnoxNetWhere and My KGIS Lite) when you zoom in on a street and click the Google Street View tool you get a curved image. If you use the lastest version of Chrome you don't get the curved or bubble image view, but in the other browsers IE, Opera, Firefox, Safari your current position looks like you are at a street intersection.
When you go to the Google's mapping website and zoom in and turn on Street View you don't see the curved effect, because Google is still using Flash.
KGIS is still looking into the problem and will keep the users posted.
