Google Street View integration in AutoCAD

Google Street View dynamic image browser on any geo-referenced drawing or map in AutoCAD

Use the 'Street View' palette in order to view and navigate Street View images by selecting a drawing point for which such images exist

When you execute the 'SPMSTREETVIEW' command, a map of streets and roads for which Street View images are available is displayed on the screen and superimposed on the drawing (blue color). This map is automatically regenerated when the drawing view changes (Pan, Zoom, etc.)

Easy: Select a location

Approach the cursor to a location in the drawing and Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD loads Street View in a integrated AutoCAD palette

Street View navigation tools

Inside the palette you will find the classic Street View navigation tools: Zoom, linear movements, circular camera movements, information about the shown place, etc.

AutoCAD integrated palette

Like any other AutoCAD palette, the 'Street View' palette can be arranged, docked, undocked, grouped, self-collapsed, closed, resized, etc.
