A simple question. When I re-create your map using {googleMaps addr="37.4219720, -122.0841430"} the map displays fine but Street View does not operate as in your demo i.e. I can get static, stock photos but, unlike your demo, I cannot 'navigate' the view along roads etc. I do have the option to 'view in Google Maps' but I don't really want the additional step.
That's really strange because I use exactly the same plugin that I published in the website. I simply pass the address into Google Maps API and the entire output is direct from Google. It should be site-independent.
You might want to try this plugin on another site. You can also try using another Google Maps API and see if it works.
Warm Regards,
