Streetview Add-In on 10.3

AlexanderPugliese — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:31:30 GMT

Does arcmap 10.3 have a streetview tool built into it? I was using the SIGGIS Add-In on 10.2.2 but the app stopped working. I also was looking to upgrade to 10.3 anyways, but i thought I'd ask the question ahead of time.

Hello- I created a simple Python add-in for Street View. It doesn't open within ArcMap, but in your browser.

You can download it here:

Hope this helps.

Hey Ian,

I actually already downloaded this in the past and It wasn't working. I just tried it again and I'm getting the same result. Basically, the tool says "missing" and there isn't an ability to actually use the streetview.

Is there any fix around this?

I've seen this before, and it was because the Python environment variables weren't set correctly, or Python wasn't installed on the machine. It can also be because there are syntax errors in the code, but I know that's not the case.

Did you install Python with your ArcGIS Desktop install?

If you open the Python command line, can you import arcpy successfully?

Nope...that would be the issue then. I'll look into installing the python arcgis install then let you know if it works or not. Thanks!

No problem, let me know if you aren't able to get it.

I am feeling like an idiot right now, but I don't remember how to install arcpy. through research, I found that win32-py2.6.exe was the app I needed. I was also under suspicion the install was under the license administrator.

Thanks again!

You need to find the original ArcGIS Desktop install media.

Then you can choose to Modify the current install:

And make sure Python is enabled:

Hey Ian,

So I reinstalled ArcMap and ensured python was installed but when I type import arcpy I still get an error. I'm going to do some research of my own but in the event I don't find a solution is there anything else you would recommend?

Hey Ian, sorry to continually bother you, but I fixed the issue. It was resolved using this thread: https://community.esri.com/thread/86343 My only question now for you involves what the map opens in. Is there any way I can configure the addon to open in google earth?

Thanks!

Hey, it's no problem, glad you got it working.

As far as opening the location in Google Earth, I'm not sure how to do that. It may be possible, but I don't know how. Sorry!

Hi Alexander,

Just to let you know that we fixed the Streetview and Bing Maps add-in. We were asked by Google to make some changes in order to comply with the changed licensing terms. The new add-in which has been uploaded to ArcGIS Online is working again as before but the requests to google are now generated client side. There is now also a Pro version which shows the viewing angle on the map in ArcMap.

Best regards,

Lieven Verheust

Hi Lieven,

Do you have a link to the Pro version...this is a great tool.

But seeing your location and bearing on the map would be great.

Thanks,

Scott

Scott, if you are interested I have developed it in c# for arcgis pro https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7f6ea5c3f3444d22b4c0edfef2c799d5

Ian,

Your addin worked straight away! I just wanted to say thank you. I had been using the 'SIGGIS Street & Bird View', which worked well for years, but had been returning a blank (black) screen in IE11 and Chrome browsers. Saves a lot of time to be able to pull up the view within ArcMap. Thank you,

Brian
