Try to select any toilet from København http://www.tinemuller.dk/test_drupal/node/6 and click on the link from InfoWindow Google Maps StreetView and then you will get directly to the toiletbuilding og from here you can choose Ruteplan, send link, see other photos an so.
Then try after this to click on the link from InfoWindow "here" and you will see more info about the toilet and also a link to the same StreetView.
I used most of the weekend at making this and I think it's really cool if I'm permitted to say so. :-)
To you that doesn't know how StreetView is functioning this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0y-q-pI2pQ is good.

Actually...
What's cool to me is you've got a list on the left that controls the popups on the map. I've been wanting to do that for like 2 years and never figured out how. How did you do that?

Yes, that looks great
I second Michelle's question, and I think a post detailing the used modules and how you made it would be a good read!
I demand you tell us how you
I demand you tell us how you did it ... please?
@ddorian You might want to
@ddorian You might want to try playing with Gmap Tools Module first. http://drupal.org/project/gmaps Although it's a little more involved and not as developed at this point the same functionality can be achieved using Openlayers.module and finder.module.
I'll be building the views for my article and directory content in a couple of weeks and I will show you then what can be achieved. For reasons I don't know I erased my test/devel website.

It seems like the question of
It seems like the question of how to open an info bubble from another link on the page comes up a lot. The process of customizing maps from the GMap module pretty much always looks the same. Here's an example attaching a link in the "page_1" display of a view to the markers in an attached gmap display:
if (Drupal.gmap) {// Register our handler with the Gmap module
Drupal.gmap.addHandler('gmap', function(elem) {
var map = this;
// Check for a specific map to customize, this ID is defined in the view, macro, or is otherwise generated for you
if (map.vars.id == 'my_map_id') {
// The "init" event is fired after the map is initialized
map.bind('init', function() {
// Click result list to open GMap marker
// Attach to the result rows, you'll need to update this selector appropriately
$('.view-my-view .view-inner-page_1 li.views-row').data('map', map).each(function(index, value) {
if ($(this).data('map').vars.markers) {
$(this).data('marker', $(this).data('map').vars.markers[index]);
$(this).click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).data('map').change('clickmarker', -1, $(this).data('marker'));
return false;
});
}
});
});
}
}
}
You can add the javascript in a module or in your theme -- it shouldn't matter as long as it comes after the GMap module's javascript. Don't forget to update it appropriately to fit your use case.
There are several events provide by the GMap module, or you can just call the Google API directly which is necessary in some cases as the GMap module doesn't provide any API for everything.
Looking forward
Looking forward to giving this a try....
