Hi there

Is anybody aware of a streetview add-in for ArcGIS Pro?

Thank you.

Hi Dan

There was a street view add-in for Pro 1.1 that I used for a while, but this add-in is no longer compatible with the newer versions of Pro. For the life of me I cannot recall where I got this add-in from!

If I now try and run the add-in, the resulting error message seems to be written in Italian (based on Google Translate). The add-in was called PAMStreetView and there are no contact details with the associated files.

The ReadMe.txt file contains the following text:

Double click on PAMStreetView.esriAddInX file for install.

Note:
Street View requires WGS84 so add-in projects from your coordinate system current of Map to wgs84 (for now only coordinate system based on a datum wgs84)
Tested with ArcGIS Pro 1.1.1
For a bug of ArcGIS Pro 1.1.1 I use a rest service for projection in wgs84. In arcgis pro 1.2 I will use arcgis pro api

Version 1.0: initial version

So not to worry about this any further.

I am hoping that there may be other Pro users out there that are aware of this add-in, or other similar 3rd party add-ins, that may be of assistance.

The only source I can think of is ArcGIS Code Sharing and the links there with Streeview are limited

Thanks Dan, I agree. I took a look at this site before writing through

GeoNet but I did not find any similar add-ins or scripts.

Hi,

I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to convert our Google Streeview tool from a 10.2 Add-In to an ArcPro Add-In. The code is below for 10.2. If anyone can help me figure out how to convert it, it would be much appreciated.

After adding the tool to ArcMap, you just click on the tool, then click on the map and streetview open in a web browser. Pretty simple.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

using ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework;
using ESRI.ArcGIS.ArcMapUI;

namespace GoogleStreetView_Add_In
{
public class GoogleStreetView : ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.Tool
{
private ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IActiveView activeView;

public GoogleStreetView()
{
}

protected override void OnUpdate()
{
Enabled = ArcMap.Application != null;
}

protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs arg)
{
ESRI.ArcGIS.ArcMapUI.IMxDocument mxDoc = (IMxDocument)ArcMap.Document;
activeView = (ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IActiveView)mxDoc.FocusMap;

//Get the screen coordinates of the mouse down event
ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPoint mousePoint = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.Point();
mousePoint.X = arg.X;
mousePoint.Y = arg.Y;

//Get the map coordinate of the event
ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPoint mapPoint = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.Point();
mapPoint = GetMapCoordinatesFromScreenCoordinates(mousePoint, activeView);

//MessageBox.Show(mapPoint.X.ToString() + " " + mapPoint.Y.ToString());

//Transform the coordinate to a GCS
ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IGeometry geometry = mapPoint;

ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.ISpatialReferenceFactory3 srf3 = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.SpatialReferenceEnvironmentClass();
ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.GeographicCoordinateSystem gcs = (ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.GeographicCoordinateSystem)srf3.CreateGeographicCoordinateSystem((int)ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.esriSRGeoCSType.esriSRGeoCS_NAD1983);

ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.ISpatialReference3 spatialRef3 = (ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.ISpatialReference3)gcs;
spatialRef3.SetFalseOriginAndUnits(-180, -90, 1000000);

geometry.Project(spatialRef3);

//Show in web browser
string streetViewLink = @"http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=" + mapPoint.Y.ToString() + "," + mapPoint.X.ToString() + "&num1&s11=" + mapPoint.Y.ToString() + "," + mapPoint.X.ToString() + "&sspn=16.71875,56.536561&ie=UTF8&ll=" + mapPoint.Y.ToString() + "," + mapPoint.X.ToString() + "&spn=0.020401,0.028753&z=15&layer=c&cbll=" + mapPoint.Y.ToString() + "," + mapPoint.X.ToString() + "&panoid=&cbp=12,161.92,,0,5";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(streetViewLink);
}

//Get the Map coordinate using the mouse coordinate
public ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPoint GetMapCoordinatesFromScreenCoordinates(ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPoint screenPoint, ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IActiveView activeView)
{

if (screenPoint == null || screenPoint.IsEmpty || activeView == null)
{
return null;
}

ESRI.ArcGIS.Display.IScreenDisplay screenDisplay = activeView.ScreenDisplay;
ESRI.ArcGIS.Display.IDisplayTransformation displayTransformation =
screenDisplay.DisplayTransformation;

return displayTransformation.ToMapPoint((System.Int32)screenPoint.X, (System.Int32)screenPoint.Y);
}
}

}

I created a pretty simple tool that does this. It looked something like this:

using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Diagnostics;
using ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping;
using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks;
using ArcGIS.Core.Geometry;

namespace ProAddins
{
    internal class OpenStreetviewTool : MapTool
    {
        protected override void OnToolMouseDown(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.ChangedButton == System.Windows.Input.MouseButton.Left)
                e.Handled = true; //Handle the event args to get the call to the corresponding async method
        }

        protected override Task HandleMouseDownAsync(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            return QueuedTask.Run(() =>
            {
                // Convert the clicked point in client coordinates to the corresponding map coordinates.
                MapPoint mapPoint = MapView.Active.ClientToMap(e.ClientPoint);
                
                // convert to lon/lat
                MapPoint coords = (MapPoint)GeometryEngine.Instance.Project(mapPoint, SpatialReferences.WGS84);

                // open a web browser
                string url = string.Format("http://maps.google.com/?cbll={0},{1}&cbp=12,90,0,0,5&layer=c", coords.Y, coords.X);
                Process.Start(url);
            });
        }
    }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

You also need some daml config. I added it to the map navigation toolbar:


    <updateModule refID="esri_mapping">
      <groups>
        <updateGroup refID="esri_mapping_navigateGroup">
          <insertTool refID="ProAddins_OpenStreetviewTool" size="large" />
        </updateGroup>
      </groups>
    </updateModule>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Also I just published the addins: Release First Public Release of the Addin tool collection · roemhildtg/arcgis-pro-addins · GitHub

The streetview tool is bundled in with some other buttons so you might want to build it yourself with out the beacon tool, for instance.

Perfect, works like a charm and I have tested it on Pro 2.1 Beta.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi, thanks for the add-in!!!

I tested the Streetview add-in and I think it will be working (it opens web browser on google maps) but in my case, the coordinates given to browser has coma decimals separator. I think its because my Czech (Europe) Windows, am I right? And is it possible to handle it in your add-in?
Thank you very much, Petr B.

nicogis — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 18:21:09 GMT

Yes, I have developed this add-in but Google Maps APIs Terms of Service doesn't permit (10.4d)

You could use BingStreetside

Here my code (updated version ArcGIS Pro 3.0)

Re: Is there a streetview add-in for ArcGIS Pro

BrettSanders — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 12:55:30 GMT

Thanks for the add-in. I do have a couple of enhancements/issues. I am running in ArcPro 2.0. After installing the addin, you click on one of the ribbon apps and you can't release it back to the original ID/Select settings. Also, you can't remove the addin unless you remove the fil;e placed in the user folder structure. Lastly, StreetView opens in full screen mode which will cover what you are working on. It might be more useful if it is a smaller window that pops on top of the ArcPro window. Other than these issues, I'm glad someone is providing something for Street View for Pro!

BrianBulla — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 15:04:42 GMT

MapPoint.X and MapPoint.Y are both double, so if your system is set for a "comma" decimal separator your best bet might be to convert them both to a string, and then replace the "comma" with a "decimal" since that is what the Google URL is expecting.

Something like this might work:

string yString = coords.Y.toString().Replace(",", ".");

string xString = coords.X.toString().Replace(",", ".");

And then replace coords in the URL with yString and xString respectively. I would think that would work, but I haven't actually tried it.

Thank you for the addin! Works perfect! (current version arcpro 2.9.2)

AlanTonkin_FMConway — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 10:53:22 GMT

Just updated to Pro 3.0 and the Add-In doesn't load. Complains that it targets an incompatible version of ArcGIS Pro (2.0). Does anyone know of a workaround other than re-compiling the source code to include 3.0?

Re: Is there a streetview add-in for ArcGIS Pro

AlanTonkin_FMConway — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 13:15:02 GMT

Hi Gregg,

Would you be able to compile the Add-In so that it installs correctly under ArcGIS Pro 3.0?

The version under GitHub is targeted at version 2. This tool is such a massive help and it would be great if you could do this for the community.

Re: Is there a streetview add-in for ArcGIS Pro

Jimmy_Simpson — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 20:36:29 GMT

@AlanTonkin_FMConway Looks like Gregg hasn't signed in for a while. I'll see if I can recompile his github code to .NET 6 and 3.0. I'll let you know.

Re: Is there a streetview add-in for ArcGIS Pro

SharonAnderson2 — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 22:14:38 GMT

That would be awesome....I could use this as well. Although I am not sure how to remove the Beacon button?

Re: Is there a streetview add-in for ArcGIS Pro

Jimmy_Simpson — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 22:33:25 GMT

@SharonAnderson2 I see that Beacon button in the screenshot. I believe in the version I had in 2.9 it said something like "Parcel" - don't remember for sure. Can for sure remove when I export.

I think I can recompile it, but not sure about reposting it. Anyone know the legality or courtesy of taking someone else's code, recompiling, and reposting on their own Github account? Sounds really fishy to me.
