    <p>I am learning google maps API v3. I was able to put together this code. I tried to make it as simple as possible. It works...</p> <p>The problem I am having is that the street view map is NOT pointing to the right direction/address. The right building is the yellow one on the corner (You'll need to scroll the street view to the left a few times). </p> <p>When I use the very same cords in <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=34.028339,%20-118.2881768&amp;layer=c&amp;z=17&amp;iwloc=A&amp;sll=34.028340,-118.288177&amp;cbp=13,124.9,0,0,0&amp;cbll=34.028358,-118.288208&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=us&amp;ved=0CAsQ2wU&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=Gqe-T9uNIcaniALWh7y1Bw" rel="nofollow" title="google maps">google maps</a>, it points to the right building/address. My map's StreetView points to the opposite side/building.</p> <ul> <li>Is there a way to control the direction a streetView map will point to, within the given cords? -North/South/West...etc.</li> <li><strong>Also, is it possible to just use an address, and have google api figure the latLong?</strong> -It's not efficient to figure out and find the right coords for over 300 addresses and increasing >_&lt;</li> </ul> <p>My code uses LatLon stored in a mysql database, but for this exmaple, I am using a single point to make my case:</p> <p><strong>Google Map's code: street_view.js</strong></p> <pre><code>//&lt;![CDATA[ // ************************ Variables ************************ var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(); //Map Options var options = { lat: 34.028339, lon: -118.2881768, zoom: 15, type: 'roadmap', tytle: "Address: 1256 W. 29th St. Los Angeles, CA 90007", html: '&lt;div class="tooltip"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Address&lt;/span&gt;: 1256 W. 29th St. Los Angeles, CA 90007&lt;\/div&gt;', icons: { red: 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_red.png', blue: 'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/micons/blue-dot.png', shadow: 'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/micons/msmarker.shadow.png' } }; // ************************ Functions ************************ function bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infoWindow, html) { google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() { infoWindow.setContent(html); infoWindow.open(map, marker); //marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html); infoWindow.getContent();marker.openInfoWindowTabsHtml(infoTabs); }); } function googleMaps() { var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), { center: new google.maps.LatLng( options.lat , options.lon ), zoom: options.zoom, mapTypeId: options.type }); var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ map: map, position: map.getCenter(), title: options.title, icon: options.icons.blue, shadow: options.icons.shadow }); bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infoWindow, options.html); map.StreetView = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById("map_StreetView"), { position: map.getCenter(), zoom: 1 }); //map.setStreetView(map.StreetView); //This line adds a street view icon to the roadmap and binds it together with streetView } //end of load() // ************************ Load ************************ //Call googleMaps after document is loaded google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', function(){ googleMaps(); //you can add more code here }); //]]&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>HTML:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;&lt;?php echo $map['address']?&gt;&lt;/title&gt; &lt;!-- START: Google Maps API --&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/_api/google/maps/v3/street_view.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;!-- __END: Google Maps API --&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="map-container" &gt; &lt;div id="map_StreetView" style="width: 350px; height: 250px"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;div id="map" style="width: 350px; height: 250px"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>PS. I tried to give you a jsFiddle, but for whatever reason it is not showing a map...? <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/EdsB6/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/EdsB6/</a></p>

    2. CO@lilina Great! This address belongs to the yellow building; the one on the corner (You'll need to scroll the street view to the left a few times)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
