I like this, but I am getting a lot of weird behavior. Sometimes clicking the image so I can pan it moves me to the previous image. Using the arrow keys sometimes pans the image, sometimes it takes me to the previous image.

Heh, well that will teach me for boasting about my site. I just did a big UI update and am ironing out the bugs.

When you say 'previous image' do you mean the same image that you would see by clicking the back arrow next to the address?

Yes. playing with it a bit more, it seems when clicking in a location that does not give you the circle (to move your position) that this happens. If the circle is there it advances you along the road as it should. I am not sure, but I think it may be correlated with using the left/right arrow keys. i.e., use arrow keys to move forwards/backwards on the road, click "go" to go to the next image, and then click in the video with the mouse, and it displays the previous scene. But I can't make it 100% repeatable.

Also, I have it set on 'auto', and it seems to stop and not continue playing after several images. The play/stop button shows "stop(0)" and does not update. If I press the button twice to toggle playing it resumes (again for a short time).

Not complaining - I found the issues because I like it and am using it.

I'll try to reproduce the problems you mentioned. There are some keyboard shortcuts - J and K for previous and next image, and G for go. Maybe these are being triggered somehow.

When you see stop(0) it might still be searching for a Street View, especially if you're using the map.

Thanks again.
