Google Street View with Web Mercator

TedLucas — Tue, 18 May 2010 17:42:29 GMT

I am pretty new to the Flex API.

Trying to figure out if I can take an existing application that has Google Street View Integrated using WGS84 Basemaps, change my base maps to the web mercator projection (102100) and have my street view work.

At this point I have not had much luck.

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ted

You will have to project the MapPoint to WGS84 then send it do the google street view component.
You can learn more about projecting a point in the online sample linked below.

You will have to create your own Geometry Service in your ArcGIS server or use the ESRI on as demonstrated in the sample.

You can also use the WebMercatorUtil to convert between WGS84 and Web Mercator:

Thanks I will dig a little deeper into this issue and try to more effectively utilize the WebMercatorUtil.
