Google JavaScript API v3 - Street View Service - turn off building interiors

Question

Often the geocoding in my application will return rooftop accuracy.

When I zoom into the location, and I switch on street view, I will end up inside a building, rather than on the street. I want to always be out on the street.

I was looking for some kind of configuration setting here: street view documentation, that will allow me to turn off building interiors but no luck. Can someone confirm whether or not what I'm looking for is possible?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The property we're looking for is google.maps.StreetViewSource.OUTDOOR. Docs:

• https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/3.exp/reference#StreetViewSource

PS: Thanks to geocodezip for the bug tracking URL reference.

Answer 2

That ability doesn't currently exist, see this enhancement request for the API (star it if you are interested in having it added)
