The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. Quote Link to comment

+Lil Devil Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Just contacted Lil' Devil and he fixed the link if anyone is interested. ... and I updated the script so it works on all cache pages again. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 The Street View script has been updated to work again now that the cache pages load via https. Install the script Original post: I just published a new Greasemonkey script that adds a Google Street View image of the cache location (if one is available) to the cache page. The tooltip on the icon shows the name of the cache (or waypoint) and the distance from the viewer (the Street View car). This can be configured to show in meters or feet. Click on the gear icon above the map to set this and other options. If there are additional waypoints, or corrected coordinates, they are all shown on the map, and are scaled appropriately with distance in the Street View. The map and the Street View image are linked together. Moving one is reflected on the other. You can also click on the "Full" button at the top to view the same map(s) in the full browser window.

+jellis Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks, I was going to ask you about it Quote Link to comment
Ridler & Cmokica Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Today I noticed that script stopped working. It shows notice from Google and a watermark "for development purposes only". Can you do something about it? Quote Link to comment

+on4bam Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Try again.. there's no error for the moment. It seems Google is constantly changing things. Quote Link to comment

It's Google. When the plugin failed, GSAK's Map Nearest V3 showed the map error too. Later in GSAK it worked again and the plugin worked again too. Looks like Google is switching stuff on and off.

It has nothing to do with API key as the same error was seen in GSAK, the plugin now works again as does the gsak macro. So it's at google's end. It has nothing to do with the version.

It has to do with the extension, as one might use the Google Api key with this extension. That way the extension will always work, not only sometimes.

I miss having this option available. No one has a problem staring at you as you walk down the street in Germany - but apparently to do so from behind a computer screen is a violation of privacy.
