The first remark which come to my mind when looking at maps of different cities is the difference between American and European (+Tokyo) cities. The thickness of the lines depends how gridded the streets are (the more gridded, the thicker the line). Other angles are presented in a range of colors from purple to blue and cyan, green and yellow. Right-angled streets aligned in cardinal directions (north-south or east-west) are represented in red. The colors on the map correspond to the direction of the street layout. Through a series of computing tricks, he plotted 9 cities according to the orientation of their city street grids. A new project by data-artist Steve Von Worley shows why I shouldn’t. Even though such a sightseeing is an extremely pleasant experience I do get angry at myself. How often do you get lost in a new city? Although I consider myself spatially aware, it happens that I lose my orientation, especially when walking without a map along narrow, chaotically oriented streets of old towns.
You simply copy the code to your website and it should work like a charm. You’ll see an option to embed your image along with the necessary iframe code. Here is an example of how it works:Įmbedding process is very easy. You simply search for a location on Google Maps in your browser, enter Street View mode or select from one of the Photo Spheres at the bottom and then click on the settings button in the bottom-right corner. From my tests it seems that is works in all browsers besides Internet Explorer.
With Google Maps’ updated Embed API you will be able to integrate Street View and Photo Sphere panoramas right into your webpage. Yesterday Google announced it will make things a bit easier. Viewing them involved navigating away to a dedicated page. The tool didn’t allow to embed Street View and Photo Sphere. But there was something important missing. Several months back Google released a new Google Maps Embed API which enables developers to generate HTML snippets that embed Google Maps within their own websites.
