The last day (22/11/2008) firmware of the iPhone included a major change in the mapping software Google Maps: Maps.
functionality of Google StreetView has been added. This feature is really surprising and can view the street, a roundabout as if you were there.
Using StreetView is not very intuitive which is why I offer a quick tutorial illustrated.
The first step is to open the application plan. It sits on the places that interest us: let's say the Place de l'Etoile in Paris
StreetView is available from the outline view or Satellite mode (it's your choice). To activate it, place a marker. For this, we need the locations if possible be referred to the center of the screen. It supports image bottom right of the page that pops up.
Replace is pressed on the mark and we get:
Note the little orange icon on the left to drag the guide. If you wait a few seconds, the place name appears Drag the marker.
If you press the icon Orange you switch to StreetView (I guess the little white man symbolizes the pedestrian who walks us through the streets of Paris).
StreetView mode requires holding the iPhone in landscape mode. The small circle on the lower right shows our location on the map. The lighter area indicates our view angle.
You can use your finger to rotate the view and discover the Arc de Triomphe:
Sometimes when you turn you see a line on the ground with arrows.
Those are the axes you can browse with StreetView, you will be able to advance in the following. There is also the name of the street which is inscribed: it requires to look down: Use your finger to it (a movement from top to bottom).
To go forward, press the arrow you see in the distance. Attention, we must advance slowly and wait a bit between shots.
If you want to go faster do not wait until the image is displayed and press the arrow again. You can press several times in a row and advance more quickly. The small circle is updated, you can monitor your progress.
StreetView To exit simply press the circle. Returning to view the map.
And voila, we made a tour of the StreetView feature of the iPhone 2.2 firmware.
