Google Street View is a service that provides panoramic views of streets worldwide, allowing users to visualize locations in detail. The service features a simple-to-use API that enables developers to integrate it into their applications, such as CartoDB. By using the Google Street View API, developers can add interactive and visually engaging infowindows with images from the service to their maps. This integration is particularly useful for city datasets and cases where precise coordinates are available, enabling users to see detailed views of locations in 3D. The process involves constructing a link to an image from the Google Street View API using latitude and longitude or other location-based information, and styling the infowindow with the added image column. This integration can be customized further by defining options such as pitch and using addresses directly instead of coordinates.
