Sent to you by Brent via Google Reader: Google adds Street View option
to its iPhone and iPad web apps via iMore - The #1 iPhone, iPad, and
iPod touch blog by Chris Oldroyd on 10/4/12
Google has added Street View to its iPhone and iPad web app which
should hopefully easy the pain currently being experienced by many
having lost the native Google Maps app on iOS 6. Street View was always
a very nice addition to Google Maps as it allowed you to zoom down to
street level and take a good look around an area where you were at the
time or planning to visit. Unfortunately, the new Maps app from Apple
in iOS 6 does not have this facility but instead offers Flyover which
is nowhere near as useful. Thankfully Google has added a nice feature
for iOS users.
Now when you visit Google Maps in Safari on your iPhone, iPad or iPod
touch you will see the familiar symbol of a person that you can click
on and it takes your straight to Street View. It works very well and
the Google web app does offer a nice alternative to Apple's own native
maps app. Of course it is still nowhere near as good an experience than
the previous native Google Maps app that we had with iOS 5 but it will
help to ease the pain while waiting for Apple to improve its offering
or Google getting a dedicated Google Maps app into the App Store.
Either way, it all helps!
You can also create a short cut to the Google Maps web app right on
your iPhone home screen. Selecting this option will give you a rather
bland, black and white Google Maps icon on your home screen with a red
push pin, but it's better than nothing.
