Embedding Streetview into Story maps

JonathanEntwistle

Hi,

I'm trying to embed streetview into a Story Map, rather than an image or video.
Like adding a video I've tried adding the embed link into a CSV file, but am having no luck getting it to work.

Any help is appreciated,
Jono

Google does not allow their streetview content to be directly embedded into iframes (what the map tour uses to embed videos). There is a work around but takes a little extra work.

First, you will need to apply for a Google maps API key and use there API to create a simple page that loads a streetview. If you look at the documentation here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/streetview-embed, there is a simple example that you should be able to copy. Then you can change the map position, heading, pitch, and zoom to fit your needs.

Once you have created this page, you will need to host it on a webserver then embed this new page into a map tour.
