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.
