I’m using google maps API V3 and I’m having trouble displaying correctly the street

  • 0

I’m using google maps API V3 and I’m having trouble displaying correctly the street view within Firefox. I always get the “fish-eye” view (does not happen with Google chrome).

So I assumed that the problem came from Firefox.

I took a look to the street view options but found nothing.

I would like to know if there is an option to have a flatten street view or if it is because Firefox does not support this kind of feature.

If someone could explain it to me, I would be grateful.

Below, what it looks in Firefox :

Optical "deformation" in Firefox

And what it looks in Chrome :

Nothings wrong with Chrome

Since a week I’m working on this project, I found no solution. Even the smallest suggestion/idea will be appreciated.

    I found a kind of answer :

    French forum, sorry – See this : http://www.developpez.net

    It seems that V3 is in trouble with that, using specific Chrome/Safari APIs or something like that.

    With the V2, all is OK.

    We tested with IE8/9, Opera, Chrome, FF and Safari, and only Chrome & Safari render it correctly.

    I will complete this “post” if the project is continued and more information gathered.

    EDIT

    See this Google Issue entitled “Provide an API to report when Street View has HTML4 fisheye”, which explains that this is a HTML5 to HTML4 renderisation problem.

    So, there is no solution to this problem except using only specific browsers or using only V2, which is what we will do here.

    Thanks to all who looked at this question, if you find something different, tell it here to help those who need it 🙂
