Overview
Hover over a RideWithGPS route to preview Google Street View. Scout entire cycling routes without dragging the pegman.
Hover anywhere on a RideWithGPS route and see a Google Street View preview of that exact spot — oriented in the direction the route is heading. Sweep your cursor along the route to scout the entire ride in seconds. The map alone doesn't show road conditions: surface type, shoulder width, traffic. RideWithGPS has Google's pegman built in, but you have to drag it, drop it, peek, back out, and re-drag for every point you want to check. This extension adds a continuous street view hover over the route & elevation map. Features: - Hover near any part of a route to see a Google Street View image - Shows street name and city, plus a compass and heading - Click the preview to open full Google Maps Street View - Works in both the route editor and route viewer, on any public route Requirements: * Google Maps must be selected as the map type in RideWithGPS * Google Maps API key with Street View Static API enabled (10k requests/month are free). Why a key? RideWithGPS's built-in Street View uses Google's free embed (iframe), which only supports discrete clicks, not continuous hover. To fetch a fresh image as your cursor moves, this extension uses Google's Street View Static API, which is keyed per user. The extension caches aggressively and skips redundant requests; the popup shows your monthly usage so you always know where you stand.
