combining google street view with places search

For a project I'm currently working on, I'm looking to incorporate both elements of Google places to search with google street view, essentially forcing the location (after searching) to view as street/pano.
Google has a pretty solid 'basic' version but I can't seem to force it to use street view. Any insight would be awesome.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-searchbox
https://www.instantstreetview.com/ - Seems to do a pretty good job of it, but I can't seem to find any documentation regarding both.

Combine the code from the SearchBox example, with the StreetView example, should give you a first cut.
Probably more what you are looking for would be to combine the answer to this related question: Facing the targeted building with Google StreetView, with the SearchBox example

Input to change location of map but not add markers

I want to use the Google Places API linked to an input so a user can enter in a street address and I can get the geo location.
From there, I want to be able to adjust this map to have the input location in the centre.

searchBox.setBounds(map.getBounds());
});
var markers = [];

Joining Search Box & Delete Markers in google maps API Javascript

i am totally new in Javascript. I have a project to make a program (based on web page) connected to google maps.
i have read developer.google.com and stuck with it.
Please help me, how to joining two sample codes place search box (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-searchbox) and marker remove (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/marker-remove)
thanks

You have errors in the posted javascript.
Uncaught ReferenceError: haightAshbury is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: Markerr is not defined
...
The main problem is that the markers array and the map variable are not in the global scope, once those are moved to the global scope and the references to the Markerr array removed (or changed to markers), the buttons work (or at least do what I expect).

Any help would be highly appreciated !!!

You are asynchronously loading the API. You need to put all the code that depends on the API in the callback function (initMap).
Also, you didn't read this comment, you aren't including the places library:
// This example requires the Places library. Include the libraries=places
// parameter when you first load the API. For example:
// <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=places">

function initMap() {

lng: -78.546
},
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});

Put whole your code to the initMap bc google will be defined only after Google Maps script will be loaded on the page.
Also added small verification to make it worked and no errors.

Get lat and lng from a place with google maps

I have an issue with taking the values of lat and lng from a place with google maps javascript api places searchbox.
This is the code which google provides from being able to search for places inside the searchbox.

And now i want to get the exact values of lat and lng to some variables in javascript.
After some research i have found this
var location = place.geometry.location;
var lat = location.lat();
var lng = location.lng();
So when i console.log the variables lat and lng to be appearead at the console of chrome. The problem is that i cant quite understand where should i integrate the lat and lng code from location so it can work with the example from google?
Any idea?
Thanks!
