Greg Sadetsky � Blog Archive � O’Reilly Where 2.0 [Part 2]: Google Maps launches Street View
Round-up of what can be found at this hour:
- This file seems to indicate that 5 cities are available: Denver, Las Vegas, Miami, New York and San Francisco.
- The Street View imagery is interactively provided by a small Flash application. It can be decompiled using Flare; its source code can be viewed here.
- The Street View tiles are coming from cbk0.google.com. Take a look at this example tile. The headers from the server indicate “Keyhole Server 2.4″. Is Google Earth support far away?
- The “panoid” values are coming from requests made to http://maps.google.com/cbk?output=xml&ll=[LAT,LNG], like this example request.
- At the bottom right of the application, “© 2007 Immersive” can be seen
- Some of the panoramic tiles have “rays of light”, as this one, perhaps artifacts from the automated stitching.

So who can tell me how to get four synchronized views, each looking out in a different cardinal direction, running at the same time, with navigation in one view causing the others to update?
Inquiring minds want to know.
