Once the novel streaming Street View goes alive yous volition hold out able to click on Google Maps too actual run across what is happening at a place alive too inwards real-time.

Here's a footling background on this story:

Yesterday I was contacted yesteryear a developer inwards Switzerland. While poking unopen to inwards the javascript for Street View he spotted a reference to 'streaming_streetview'. The developer e-mailed me bespeak me if I had whatever thought what this mightiness hold out referring to.

In the code the reference to streaming Street View has a place attached to it but when yous opened upwardly the Street View inwards Google Maps it only displays the normal static Street View. However the reference to 'streaming_streetview' likewise has a panoID attached to it. I thence decided to piece of occupation the Google Maps API to create a Street View lawsuit too entered inwards the panoID.

The effect is an amazing real-time streaming Street View from the location. I've set this footling hack on-line too yous tin laissez passer on the sack run across Google's examination demo of streaming Street View inwards activeness for yourself - here.

Here's what Mike Marks, of the Google Maps Development Team, told me,

"We are working on introducing streaming Street View on Google Maps. However nosotros are presently a long agency from going alive alongside this.

So it appears nosotros convey a footling fourth dimension to aspect earlier alive streaming Street View is released on Google Maps. While yous aspect yous tin laissez passer on the sack banking concern fit out the footling cloak-and-dagger demo of the technology that Google are testing here. Currently the examination photographic television set camera is broadcasting inwards dark & white. Hopefully Google volition hold out switching to color cameras earlier they eventually create become alive alongside this on Google Maps.
