Shortcode for Google Street View

Description

Adds a shortcode for embedding Google Street View content into your WordPress Site. Embed directly, or embed a thumbnail that opens a tour as an overlay.

Features

• Easily locate your tour and set a start position
• Adds Click to Play functionality to Google Street View

Coming Soon

• Multi-language support.
• Admin Interface for building galleries (Pro)

FAQ

Q: Does it create galleries?

Not yet! You can only insert one tour at a time with this (so far). You will need to use a page builder (I like Elementor), or a column shortcode to pull this off.

Q: What’s the point?

Google Street View allows embedding in an IFRAME, but immediately loads tours. this slows page load down and is tedious to setup. This plugin is not only FASTER and EASIER to use, but it adds the click-to-start functionality that is sorely missing from GSV.

Q: Will you be adding features like overlays and internal tour enhancements?

A: Probably not. This would best be addressed by visiting a robust platform like GoThru, Walkinto or PanoSkin.

Q: I love the lightbox overlay thing.

A: Thanks, it’s Magnific Popup by Dmitry Semenov. Go check out his site. He makes some awesome stuff!

does not work

does not work with latest versions of WP states that API is wrong (when it’s ok)

Excellent: An elegant solution

We previously used to the add embed codes from Google Maps 360 image views onto Websites, which was just about acceptable. Finding this plugin has now given us an elegant solution that looks far superior on ours and client’s Website. Not only does it get around the (current?) issue that cause clicking on Google embeds on mobile to make the page jump around, but the way it allows mobile and tablets viewers to rotate to look at the 360 shots is a significant boost. Recommended.

Fantastic!!!
