Didn't see anything in documentation so I figured I'd ask here:
For capturing image via google static maps api, is there any way to get views that have tilt? Doesn't seem to be any documentation on how to query for this.
Thanks.
I've done a small example that could help you. It uses html2canvas.js and jquery.js I forked also what @mfirdaus did in another answer
