Google Static Image Maps & Street View
The demo created by Petros combines 4 static street view images and 2
static (non-interactive) map images (road & satellite) into an Excel
panorama view using Google's static MAP & Street View APIs.
The Google Static Map v2 API service creates a static (non-
interactive) map based on URL parameters sent through a standard HTTP
request and returns the map as an image, which you can be displayed in
Excel.
In the same way, the Google Street View Image API creates a Street View
panorama. The viewport is defined with URL parameters sent and is
returned as a static image in Excel.
The VBA code is simple: oShape.Fill.UserPicture strURL where strURL is
a string with URL parameters, as defined in Google developer's guides. The
image created by the service is loaded in an Excel shape object.
In our demo, the shape outline has been removed (no outline), the shapes
have been 'snapped to shape' and grouped.
A search address can be entered in 3 ways:
In the ribbon, in the address field.
In the userform's text field, above the 'Show Map' button.
Or by selecting and/or editing a POI (point of interest) from the listbox.
The listbox is loaded with POI descriptions from an Excel 2007 Table
(ListObject), which can be edited by the user.
The slider controls the zoom level, when a search is made through the userform. The Ribbon search is
fixed to zoom level 14.
Google is enforcing a quota limit for non-business use customers. Since 4 Street View requests are made
per search in our Excel demo, the limit per 24 hours is up to 250 searches per viewer. The service will stop
working immediately, if the limit is exceeded to prevent abuse.
