Google Street View integration in GstarCAD

Enhanced in V10

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

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.).
