Question

How can I toggle Streetview on an specific map canvas by clicking a button (API v3) ?

function ToggleStreetView(map)
{
  //Assume map contains the google.maps.Map object

}

Answer 1

This is the function that I wrote for a maps app that I wrote a while ago:

// Toggles between map and panorama view
function togglePanorama(){
    if(isPanorama){
        map.streetView.setVisible(false);
        $('#message').empty().append('Click here to take a tour of our office.');
        isPanorama = 0;
    } else{
        map.streetView.setVisible(true);
        $('#message').empty().append('Back to the map.');
        isPanorama = 1;
    }
}

Though I was using it with a custom panorama it will work just fine with the default Street View.
