In the Spring of 2010, Google Streetview increased its coverage of the UK to cover around 95% of all public streets. So DanceWeb now has full support for StreetView! As an Editor you can now add a precise Streetview to a Google Venue map, that will show the Venue building to users, and help them to locate it. The DirMan application will usually offer a default usable Streetview, but you can refine this to locate the "Camera" on any nearby street, and adjust the pan (bearing) tilt and zoom to give the best possible view of the Venue.
When users of DanceWeb now view a Venue or Dance Event, they will see both the Google Map and (if available) a small inset Streetview window. They can then swap the windows, or even move the "Camera" around, and the "Camera" will still point at the Venue. In fact they have many of the features that are available on the Google Map website (including a direction route to the Venue).
Enjoy!
