RideWithGPS is great for planning routes, but it's hard to tell from the map whether a road is a quiet country lane or a busy highway with no shoulder. This extension adds a Street View preview that appears when you hover over the route, with the Street View correctly pointed where the route is headed.
- Hover near any part of a route to see a Street View preview
- Shows street name and city, compass and heading at the bottom of the preview
- Click on the preview to open full Google Maps Street View
- Works in both the route editor and route viewer (any route, not just yours)
NB! This extension requires
* Google Maps selected as the map type in RideWithGPS
* Google Maps API key with Street View Static API enabled (free tier: ~28,500 requests/month). Setup instructions included.
