Google Maps API - Street View Panorama Animated

About
NOTE: This page is a daughter page of: Google Maps API
This piece of code loads a Street View Panorama, in this case one in San Francisco outside Urban Putt mini golf, and animates the panorama rotating. Rotation stops if you click it (or uncheck the checkbox)... and there is a delay built in.
The code below uses the StreetViewPanorama object from the Google Maps API.
