Google Maps API v3 - Display Image capture date in StreetView

Question

When you visit maps.google.com there is an information at the right bottom corner saying when the image has been captured: screenshot google maps

However on my site when I use Google Maps API, that information is simply not shown. I cannot find any setting for this either. Does anyone know how to display that information?

EDIT: I don't use google.maps.StreetViewPanorama, but google.maps.Map where the user can switch to StreetView mode.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I was able to set the options by getting the StreetView object from the map:

this.map = new google.maps.Map(this.divContainer, defaultMapOptions);
this.map.getStreetView().setOptions(defaultStreetViewOptions);

Answer 2

When you create the Street View, specify the imageDateControl attribute in the options. It's disabled by default; you have to enable it.

Something like:

var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(
  document.getElementById('pano'), {
    position: yourLocation,
    imageDateControl: true
  });
