I couldn't find a thread that discussed this but the 'Place:' function in Goole Street View does not populate or search for me.

I'm using P2VR 6 Beta 3. I have linked my Google account and authorized it for P2VR. I have a working and linked tour, all links with good GPS. I select my tour images and click the "Plus" icon for 'Place:' under 'Current Panorama' and get the 'Search' box. However, nothing happens. No matter what I put in the search field, the display below remains blank. I have a good connection to the internet. I don't get any warnings or crash. So, I just close it and am back to my workspace.

When could I be doing wrong or what might I not have configured correctly?

Hi,
I have moved this topic to the correct forum.
Just to confirm using V6 you can login to your account and see panoramas in your street view browser.
The Tour map shows and everything works except the place listing.

If I type in "Baltimore" I get the same thing so this is down to Google.
If you have geo located your panoramas if you remove all the text in the search text field what does it look like?
It should show places close to the location.

In Google search "Google Place Finder", you should see PlaceID Finder | Maps JavaScript API | Google Developers.
Use this website to find your place. This should give you the Place ID, copy and paste this into Pano2VR's search box.
Regards,
Hopki

Hi@all,
this is important now for me: of four locations I can find only one. In Google Maps you can find the missing three locations easily. I don't know, who can answer this: what is the cause? How long will it take to work again? Is there a workaround?
It is a bit frightening, because - no tour - no bill - no money. And I don't want to go back to Panoskin....

I just checked it - in Panoskin all the four locations are present. I am using Pano2VR-Version: 5.2.5 pro 64bit Cocoa on a Mac

Thanks for helping, regards, Chris

Hi Chris,
This is a bit odd as we should be using the same API from Google!
Whats the address?
Do you have more information?
If it is sensitive e-mail to support@ggnome.com.

Hi Hopki, thanks for answering soon, I didn't get a notification that you answered, but yesterday I had a look and it worked again fine. So the sweatdrops on my forehead are drying ;-)
Kind regards, Chris

Hi Chris,
What you can do is use Place Fine ID website.
Use this to find your place and you will see the Place ID. You can copy this and paste into Pano2VR's place search box.

Hi Hopki,

I have the same problem and followed your suggestion. I took the Place ID from Place ID Finder and pasted it in the search box. Now the green + (puls sign) is gone and nothing more to see. Should it be like this?

I use Pano2VR 5.2.3 pro 64bit

Thanks for helping!

You need to upgrade to 5.2.5 as we changed the internal API keys. We had to disable the keys for older versions.
MfG, Thomas
