Basic URI: 
google.streetview:

Google street view location.

URI specification:

  • google.streetview:cbll=lat,lng&cbp=1,yaw,,pitch,zoom&mz=mapZoom

The URI scheme is based on the syntax used for Street View panorama information in Google Maps URLs.

The cbll field is required. The cbp and mz fields are optional.

Parameter Description
lat latitude
lng longitude
yaw Panorama center-of-view in degrees clockwise from North.

Note: The two commas after the yaw parameter are required. They are present
for backwards-compatibility reasons.
pitch Panorama center-of-view in degrees from
-90 (look straight up) to 90 (look straight down.)
zoom Panorama zoom. 1.0 = normal zoom, 2.0 = zoomed in 2x, 3.0 = zoomed in 4x, and so on.

A zoom of 1.0 is 90 degree horizontal FOV for a nominal
landscape mode 4 x 3 aspect ratio display.
Android phones in portrait mode will adjust the zoom so that
the vertical FOV is approximately the same as the landscape vertical
FOV. This means that the horizontal FOV of an Android phone in portrait
mode is much narrower than in landscape mode. This is done to minimize
the fisheye lens effect that would be present if a 90 degree horizontal
FOV was used in portrait mode.
mapZoom The map zoom of the map location associated with this panorama. This value is passed on to the
Maps activity when the Street View "Go to Maps" menu item is chosen. It corresponds to the z parameter in
the geo: intent.
