Igloo have developed an integration with Google Street View for viewing street panoramas in 360 degrees.
This tutorial requires a session called Streetview to have been setup using the Desktop UI. See the tutorial: Desktop UI - Exploring Google Street View .
Loading a StreetView Panorama Layer
Press the Add Content button in the Canvas Toolbar and select Content Library.
Select the session named ‘Streetview’.
This will load a WebView layer pointing to the Igloo StreetView Service URL and with appropriate settings to display across the whole canvas.
Creating a StreetView Control Layer
Create a new WebView and set the URL to http://127.0.0.1:9070/control
. This displays the control screen showing a map and an orbit view. Both the map and orbit view can be used to navigate by clicking the arrows in the top view or by clicking a new position on the map. Use Edit mode to resize and position the control layer to a suitable area of the canvas, on top of the StreetView panorama layer.
Additional StreetView Layers
The other available endpoints are:
http://127.0.0.1:9070/mapview
- displays the streetview map with pegman
http://127.0.0.1:9070/orbitview
- displays the streetview panorama in a click-drag view
Exercise: add two WebView layers to display the streetview map and orbitview on top of the main iglooview.
TIP: Save a new Streetview session which includes the control layers.
