This extension allows you to drop a pin while in Google Maps Street View based on the latitude and longitude
Pin Dropper For Street View Extension
This adds an extension button that, if pressed while within Google Street View, will open a new tab with a pin dropped at the GPS coordinates for that Street View Location.
Ordinarily, Google uses the address, rather than coordinates - this works fine in cities but very poorly in the countryside.
Example use case: I'm looking for a gate into a rural field. Click through on Street View, once you find what you're looking for, click the icon and new window will open with the pin where you want it!
