FYI - http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GPov class GPov This class represents the structure of a camera point of view used by street view. It has no constructor, but is instantiated as an object literal. All properties are optional. yaw - The camera yaw in degrees relative to true north. True north is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees, west is 270 degrees. pitch - The camera pitch in degrees, relative to the street view vehicle. Ranges from 90 degrees (directly upwards) to -90 degrees (directly downwards). > > > On Feb 28, 8:19 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > On Feb 27, 10:53 am, Dean <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > The Maps API Map Streetview Object example describes how you can show > > > > a Streetview of a given location and control the pitch and yaw.
