Blog - Google Maps Directions Gets help with addition of Street Views PDF Print E-mail
Written by glenn   
Friday, 02 May 2008
Are you a Google Maps directions fan? I know I couldn't get to and from our ball tournaments every week-end without them!

Well now, users of this service will notice that Street View is integrated with the directions service.

At each turning point in your list of directions (left side-bar) you can now view a street view image of the intersection (if available). A nice touch to a very useful service. I know I could have used this a couple of weeks ago when I had written directions but had some confusion at an off-ramp. To use this feature simply ask for directions from Google Maps and click the little camera icon beside each drive segment. An image of the turning point will appear, making it quite clear which way to go... very useful for those tricky Interstate turn-offs!
