[mapserver-users] Mapserver as back-end for Google custom streetview?

[Jan Martin]

Way simpler:

I took about 200 panoramas, geotagged them and display them using Google
custom streetview API, which is part of Google maps API v3:

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#CustomStreetView

For this I created 2 sets of data:
a) Polyline for the "blue roads" on the map:

var points =
[
new google.maps.LatLng(49.994581,8.664265),
new google.maps.LatLng(49.994636,8.666582),
etc...
];

b) List of my custom streetviews:
var panoramas =  {
  '000038': {
    latLng: new google.maps.LatLng(49.99434383656390, 8.66439325015278),
    description: '000038',
    pano: '000038',
    copyright: 'Imagery (c) 2011 DIY-streetview.com',
    tiles: {
      worldSize: new google.maps.Size(8192, 4096),
      tileSize:  new google.maps.Size(512, 512),
      heading: 339
    },
    links: [
      {
      heading: 159,
      description: '000037',
      pano: '000037',
      roadColor: '#C9BE62',
      roadOpacity: '0.3'
      },
      {
      heading: 339,
      description: '000039',
      pano: '000039',
      roadColor: '#C9BE62',
      roadOpacity: '0.3'
      }]},
etc....

Obviously this does not scale.
So I like to serve this data only using Mapserver.
Tiles are from Google.

How to do this?

Thanks,
Jan
