I think something has changed on google's side: on my desktop, I have the same problem with a somewhat older Mozilla browser, but it works on a newer iceweasel/firefox.

No Google API v3 example works with streetview anymore on microb.
See for example http://bit.ly/aGdquM

Guess we have to stay without streetview - too bad. Or wait for pr1.3? Or take an android device?

EDIT: there is still hope: it works *well* in Iceweasel for Easy Debian!

Cool! Here everything works! So I'll make your streetview page the home page in Iceweasel and so have a dedicted google streetviewer! Your way of representing that side-by-side is actually superior to google maps!

As for microB, let's hope PR1.3 does include a minor update which makes it work again!

At any rate, thanks so much for your html and javascript coding!

So here is my how-to for a dedicated google streetviewer for those who already have Easy Debian:

1. Install debernardis's html file in /home/user

2. Create a streetview app by

Code:

cp /usr/share/applications/hildon/iceweasel.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon/streetview.desktop

and edit the newly created /usr/share/applications/hildon/streetview.desktop to contain the lines

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Google Streetview
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
Exec=debbie "xbindkeys;iceweasel file:///home/user/strade3-3.html"
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=streetview
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;
StartupWMClass=Firefox-bin
StartupNotify=true

3. Copy the attached icon to /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon

You can then install a shortcut on your desktop, which opens google streetview in Easy Debian iceweasel. To toggle full screen mode, press F11, which through xbindkeys is mapped to Shift+Fn+<key to the left of backspace> (it's symbol depends on your national keyboard)

You burned me! I was preparing that too

Here's another icon

EDIT: can we do that also with xulrunner? It might be more like a standalone app

Sorry! But you could actually produce a teeny-weeny package out of that (depending on Easy Debian unfortunately), similarly to your swappolube-nogui, and so you could let us participate in future improvements of your strade file!

One request I would have for the latter would be that whenever you type in something in the find location bar that the streetview would get updated if the new location does have a streetview coming with it. Would that be possible/difficult?

I don't know

I am only able to cut and paste code bits - to give you an answer I have to study some javascript - but I guess it's not difficult

A simpler request then: in full screen view, iceweasel still shows scroll bars, because the picture is just a few pixels to big. How to change that? (Of course, I just could experiment with your file, but I guess, you immediately know

Try the page now in http://www.debernardis.it/strade3-3.html - in my hands fits the iceweasel window without showing scroolbars.

EDIT: do you have any recipe to open iceweasel in fullscreen mode? I am presently trying xdotool as suggested in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...anging-707461/
