Google Maps App Adds Street View For iOS And Android
Somedays back i wrote about how the customers started hating Apple iOS6 map. But Google gives one more reason to avoid it. It is already known that Google is the best app that the user can use when it comes to maps and direction. There are many other services that are available like MapQuest, Nokia, Bing and others. There good but with limitations. Google map covers more area in great detail and quality. After the fail of Apple's iOS 6 map, Google came up with Street View feature to its web apps on iOS 6. That should hopefully ease the pain currently being experienced by iOS 6 users who found Street View missing following the September update. When Apple throw Google from their mapping data provider and created the new iOS 6 Maps app, they lost Street View and instead offered Flyover, which were not correct. But now i think google has added a nice feature for iOS users.
Google Maps with Street View lets you explore places around the world through 360-degree street-level imagery. You can explore world landmarks, view natural wonders, navigate a trip, go inside restaurants and small businesses. If you are not aware of how the building looks or what the restaurant looked like or where the shop is located and next to what, Street View could help make sure you recognized it when you got there.
And 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. Wow isn't that great.
The Street View service will work on both iPads and iPhones - without users having to download an app. "With access to Street View on your phone, you can use panoramic, street-level imagery to explore and navigate the places around you, even on the go" - as stated by Amanda Leicht, Product manager Google Map. Google is working on its own map app after Apple throw it from the built in maps app on iPads and iPhones.
