Hello,
Now that Australia has launched street level, is there a way to incorporate this into our store locator? I believe I'm using an older version of this program, which is heavily customised - It would be great if it was a small code to add and not too detailed?
Thanks heaps!
Cheers
Steven
If street level is available
If street level is available now, then your map should inherit that feature right from google directly without modifying anything. I use google's geocoder before anything else so that when they update their map data, our data is updated right along with it. There is however some very old versions that do not use google as the first geocoder but instead use yahoo first. If this is the case for you then a simple geocoder re-ordering in the code would be all thats needed to get the new addresses. But those versions are so old that I'd be surprised if they still worked with the new google API hehe.

Use postcode '3156' for example, then use that postcode in maps.google.com - street view is available on the Google Site but not mine.
Weird?
Oh I see what you mean.
Oh I see what you mean. Street view the Feature. Not street names. Yea I havent implemented the street view overlay yet but it will be in the 3.x branch along with all of the other new overlays that google has implemented since the last locator release. Implementing the street view for your site wouldnt be to difficult once I figure out what the right API calls are to make it show up on the map ;) I just havent taken the time to look at the new API function list yet. It will likely just be 1 line to add the new overlay.
Your a champ mate! I'll
Your a champ mate! I'll stay tuned to see how it goes.
