While working on Daft‘s Map Search facility, we naturally decided to integrate Google’s Street View (SV) as a feature, especially since we were one of the launch partners for the product in Ireland. We decided to do this as follows:
- For each property icon on the map, when you click on it, bring up a small info window with a picture, minimal details, a link to the property’s main page and, where applicable a link to the SV image for that property
- When clicking on the SV link, the entire map is replaced with the SV window
- A button would then exist to close the SV window and revert back to the map
