Thanks for the clarification on pitch/yaw; however, in the API example
shown below, pitch is controlling where the camera is relative to true
north and yaw is the postion of the camera relative to the street view
vehicle. This is apparently the opposite of the definition in the
class GPov.
function initialize() {
var myPano = new GStreetviewPanorama(document.getElementById
("pano"));
fenwayPark = new GLatLng(42.345573,-71.098326);
myPOV = {yaw:370.64659986187695,pitch:-20};
myPano.setLocationAndPOV(fenwayPark, myPOV);
GEvent.addListener(myPano, "error", handleNoFlash);
}
function handleNoFlash(errorCode) {
if (errorCode == 603) {
alert("Error: Flash doesn't appear to be supported by your
browser");
return;
}
}
Try it out here (change values in myPOV):
