Hi Rossko. Thanks for the advice. Here is what I know: I was working on a project that requires Google Maps. Due to its characteristics, I estimated the following: - I would have 5 loads per user in average (possible more considering that I can't save static images on my server, not even thumbna

I just sent an email to ask about the premier account and I got a message that is talking about thousands of dollars for just a million access. At the end of the email says: "Please respond to this email if you have any additional questions", and guess what is the email? yes, you got it... It'

I realized that to load a streetview I have to load the API and there is when the charge is made, as it happens with the maps. Now, a question for Thor or managers of this project. Why are you trying to make a few developers pay the service for the rest? Let's do some numbers. I use Amazon Web

Hi guys. The following limit is just for static images? "*panorama image from the Street View Image API*" I need to clarify this. The limit for static streetview images is 1000 per user and 25000 per domain. But the streetview service has no limits, right? Thanks JD -- You received this messa

Thanks barry. Pretty close! I'm implementing that formula. The only thing is that the result goes over the limits. But that's not your formula's fault. That's because the limits for fov are 10 and 120, so there are no values for some zooms. For example, if the zoom is 0, the right value for fov

Hi Keir. Thanks! But the correct formula apparently is logarithmic (the formula of the example you showed is just multiplying by 16 the value of zoom, which is inaccurate). I couldn't figure out how to make it, so I came up with a list of predefined values I got comparing images and then just

If what you want is to put the map inside a div and then have other divs shown over it you have to use these CSS properties: position: relative; position: absolute; and place the div that's going over, inside the first one. For example, I use a construction like this: here goes the map

Thanks Larry! Don't know why I didn't see it before! But, the answer doesn't solve my problem. In fact, that guy has exactly the same problem I have, he doesn't know how to convert the values and always keep the value of fov in 90. So, if someone knows how to do it please let me know. Thanks

OK, this is the third time I post this message, no idea why is always deleted. I need help with the conversion of zoom values to fov values. A streetview returns the value of the zoom variable, but when I want to show that view as a static image I have to provide the value of the variable fov i

Hi. This is the second time I post this message, don't know what happened with the previous one. When I get the information from a street view, the variable I receive is ZOOM. But when I need to generate a static image of that streetview I have to use the variable FOV, which values are completel
