Oblique photo and street view (Look Around)
View properties obliquely from the air with Oblique photo in five directions, or stand at street level and look 360° around with Look Around — both open directly on the map.
Get a real-world look at a property without driving to the address. On the map you can open Oblique photo to see the building obliquely from the air in five directions, and Look Around to stand at street level and look 360° around you. Both open as floating panels at the bottom-right of Map.
1Find your location on the map
Both tools show the location you have selected. Search for an address in the field at the top, or click a parcel on the map so the building is in focus:
Search address, unit or cadastral number…
If you haven't selected a location, Oblique photo uses the map centre. So centre on the property you want to see first, then open the panel.
2Open Oblique photo
Click the binoculars button at the bottom-right of the map ( Oblique photo). The panel fetches the most recent oblique image from the public aerial-photo archive and shows the building from one of five perspectives:
Direction — ⊙ N Ø S V Year is shown in the corner · Enlarge · Open in Skråfoto
- ⊙ is nadir (straight down from above). N, Ø, S and V show the building obliquely from each compass direction.
- The image loads progressively: first a fast preview (marked HD), then sharper resolution.
- A small year in the corner tells you when the photo was taken.
- Zoom in and out with the / buttons or the scroll wheel, and drag to pan. Click the counter button in the corner to reset zoom.
- Enlarge makes the panel larger; Open in Skråfoto opens the image at full size in the official Skråfoto window.
If it says No oblique photos found, there is no coverage at the selected location — move the map slightly and try again.
3Turn on Look Around and pick a point
Click the Look Around button () next to Oblique photo. The button enters picking mode and the cursor turns into a crosshair. The message Click the map to choose a point appears:
Pick a point out on the road or pavement rather than in the middle of a plot — street imagery is captured from the road, so coverage is best close to it.
Click where you want to stand. The panel opens an interactive 360° street view from the chosen position.
4Look around the street view
Drag to look 360° around · zoom in for detail Choose new point · Expand · Close
- Drag the image to rotate your viewpoint all the way around, and zoom to get closer.
- A blue marker is placed on your chosen point on the map. You can drag the marker to a new position, and the street view jumps with it.
- Choose new point puts you back in picking mode so you can click a new spot.
- Expand gives a larger view; Close closes the panel.
If it says No Look Around here, there is no street-view coverage at that point — choose a new point closer to a road.
