Street View Side-By-Side

  • This example demonstrates how to display a Street View panorama alongside a map, showcasing the location and viewpoint.

  • The map and Street View are synchronized, with the map reflecting the position and orientation of the Street View.

  • Users can explore the provided code samples in TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML to understand the implementation.

  • Links are available to try the sample on JSFiddle or Google Cloud Shell, or to clone and run it locally with Git and Node.js.

This example displays the Street View for a location alongside a map. The map displays the position and point of view shown in the Street View window.

Clone Sample

Git and Node.js are required to run this sample locally. Follow these instructions to install Node.js and NPM. You will also need a Google Maps API key.

The following commands clone the repository, install dependencies, and copy the environment file. 

  git clone https://github.com/googlemaps-samples/js-api-samples.git
  cd js-api-samples
  npm i
  cp .env.template .env

Once you copy the environment file, make sure to open the .env file and replace <Insert your own development API key here> with your actual API key before starting the sample. 

  cd samples/streetview-simple
  npm start
