It looks like Google Maps Street View has been added to the Google Maps API. The interactive 360 degree panoramic images that Google provides for a number of cities on Google Maps has, until now, not been available to developers to add to their Google Maps mashups.
The addition of Street View to the Google Maps API has not been officially announced but the Mapperz blog noticed some discussion about it on the Google Maps Group and have even thrown together a quick example Street View Map.
I've also thrown together a quick Example Map where the street view actually appears in the information window that opens when you click on the map. Both the Mapperz example and my own are based on examples and unofficial reference provided by The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team

You can get the changelog of the Google Maps API at
http://mapki.com/wiki/Changelog.
V2.103 includes 3 new classes
GStreetviewClient()
GStreetviewOverlay()
GStreetviewPanorama(a)
how are these views created and added to a map or location?
Have a look at the Blackpool Community Church link in the post or try the Google Maps API instructions -
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Streetview
Do you have any documentation on how to embed the street view link in the information window? I haven't found any tutorial on how to do this. I know the API documentation probably covers this, but there aren't any working examples from there, which would be very helpful.
One way might be to call the latlong of a position and insert that into a map link.
