iOS Question Open Streetview

[MikeH]

I'm not sure what has changed, but I used to be able to open a Streetview with:

Dim URL As String = "comgooglemaps://?center=46.414382,10.013988&mapmode=streetview"
App.OpenURL(URL)

I have

#QueriesSchemes: comgooglemaps

in the attributes and I can open Streetview but I just get a black screen with a never ending progressview. Its the same if I change the coordinates.

Any ideas?

I also see it.

This url (from their example) does work: comgooglemaps://?center=40.765819,-73.975866&zoom=14&views=traffic.

Something has changed with Google Maps app. It is not related to your app.

You need to change mapmode: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/urlscheme?hl=en

It looks like Google have removed Streetview from their Maps app. This no longer works:

• mapmode: Sets the kind of map shown. Can be set to: standard or streetview.

Lots of people are complaining about it and have been for a while: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/b_DIB_M_Ohk

Using Streetview+JS+WebView might be a good solution for now.

I'm downloading the image and making my own streetview instead. Gives me much more potential

What do you mean ?

What do you mean ?

Using http to download the image then displaying it in an imageview

But how is obtained the 360° view ?

Well, "complicated" is what we charge for...
