My suspicions are that there will be a major push of Street View in Europe this year.

Knowing the controlling powers there, could it be that there were some "restrictions" on showing street views in that city?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158290.post-86395685264339025292009-02-03T22:47:00.000-05:002009-02-03T22:47:00.000-05:00Hiding street view in the unidentified little peg ...Hiding street view in the unidentified little peg man is idiotic as Google Maps's original street view button did NOT 'dirty' up the screen as other seems to imagine it is now 'cleaned' up now by having removed the most basic rudementary site navigation scheme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158290.post-63695715552326603882008-12-14T19:58:00.000-05:002008-12-14T19:58:00.000-05:00The new version stinks!

The peg man icon becomes coloured when Street View is available somewhere on the map.

Why can I no longer see all of the blue lines on a map and quickly pull up street views wherever I want?? Having to constantly drag the little man from the top left is ridiculous. Also, why can't I minimize the map window at the bottom right of the screen while in Street View?

They've obviously realised that too. <BR/><Aaron Spencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679163011687186881noreply@blogger.com
