    does anyone have a grip on what the various sections of the URL mean for these? i had 2 street views, half a block from each other, and URLs are so wildly diff i'm scratching my head:

    https://www.google.com/maps/@42.412...4!1sovKWXAQs94WseE0BB7nWOA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

    https://www.google.com/maps/@42.412...200.69327&pitch=0&thumbfov=100!7i13312!8i6656

    why does the latter have a second "https: ..."? esp one with signs of being thumbnail related?! i tried lopping it off, but no joy. it seems critical for keeping things in street view.

    however, a little creative MERGING of the two, i get what i'm looking for:

    https://www.google.com/maps/@42.412...snI8410MSt4uotEDaGhmVkQ!2e0!6s!7i16384!8i8192

    why didn't it just produce that on its own?

    EDIT: they don't look all that diff once the "..." contraction kicks in!! how do i turn that OFF?!

    tried applying "unlink" to each of those, but it did nothing. still contracted, and still hotlinked.

    NB: can't figure out how to turn off that annoying "..." link contraction -- which in this case messes up EVERYTHING -- so i pre-broke the links by hand. seeing the full URLs here more important than having them hotlinked.

    I would highly suggest you start using the preview option on here. This is what it's there for.

    More Options> Preview

    Take a second before hitting the Post Reply button. The owners set the time limit and it's not going to change. If you are constantly having issues with that, that's a you thing, not a MG thing. Plenty of people use this forum and don't have problems.

    None of your links are active in your third post.

    As far as the google maps question, I would suggest asking in their Google Maps Community.
