HUGE stupid mistake iOS 6- no more street view in maps!

Yes, we can get Google Maps on our iphone 5 by going to maps.google.com on Safari (it will allow you to install it from the web and is NOT in the app store) but there is no street view on it.  The only thing that had street view was Apples's map app from previous iOS's.  Pop your finger on any street w/a yellow line on it, a pin drops and the left end of the text box that comes up is where you click for street view.  Now this area is just for driving direections which are not even accurate.  The whole beauty of maps is the 360 degree street view so you can see storefronts, what the streets look like, get an idea of neighborhoods etc especially when hunting for real estate!  Let's hope we can get the old Apple maps app back ASAP!!!!  3 -d buildings are nice to look at as a NOVELTY but are not useful for navigation.  Make it a free novelty app to use for fun but NOT directions!

Cool, thanks for the link tonefox... I can now use streetview on the iPad & iPhone. Its not as smooth as on the computer or laptop, but at least I can see what the address or place I'm heading to looks like, before I head out.
Weird that Google Maps has the feature, but gives no intuitive icon to engage it... maybe they want us to experience the joy of discovery?
Thanks again for the help!

    Streetview is the property of Google. The new application not using Google services anymore (for many reasons you can find around the web), Streetview is gone too. Just download the free streetview app from the appstore

  • Since iOS 8 cannot exit street view and go back to satellite image

    Since updating to iOS8 I ca not exit street view and go back to satellite view. Help please.

    FYI to anyone with the same issues wishing to downgrade....just did this using the official Apple 7.1.2 IPSW file and it worked fine. I'm still keen to move to iOS 8 once they iron out the issues but for now I get my preferred user experience back!!

  • Can I link to a street view in Maps?

    anyone know how to do it?
    please help

    As far as I know Maps in iOS does not support direct street view links. You can only send a Maps link which will drop a red pinpoint but the user will have to manually advance into street view by tapping the little orange person.

  • Street View (google maps) not working on Firefox with SNA

    I have a problem with Firefox when trying to use Street View in Google Maps. It basically kills the browser by being extremely slow. Now, this happens only when using SNA acceleration (default), but not with UXA or GLAMOR (just removed on latest update or xf86-video-intel). Everything else works fast and good with SNA, including WebGL in Firefox. Moreover, with Chromium I don't have this issue: Street View works fine with SNA.
    This is an Intel based laptop with Gen5 Intel graphics (and in case it matters, I use KDE desktop):
    # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep SNA
    [455944.801] (II) intel(0): SNA initialized with Ironlake (gen5) backend
    Anyone else noticed this? Any idea of what can be the problem?

  • Street View in Maps-Can't find

    I recently got my iPhone 3G and i've heard that with software version 2.2 that you can see the street view on Google Maps application. I can't seem to find out how to access the street view. Am I just blind or is there a setting that needs to be switched on first? Thanks for the help.

    It is only available in certain places (where they have mapped Street View data). When you plot a point (have a Pin) when you click on the pin, if you see an Orange person icon in the bubble that pops up (and not greyed out if it is there) then you can click that person and it will switch to Street View.
    To test, try a search in Washington DC.

  • Did ios6 remove the street view from maps?

    Is there a setting required to see street views in ios6?

    There is no street View in the new Maps App. The new Maps app is now made by Apple inastead of Google. As of yet thay have not incorporated the feature into the App.
    If you need street view use the google maps website through safari instead.

  • No street view on iOS 6 map.

    I like iOS 6 , is working perfect for me but I want back street view on map.

    Street View is a feature of Google Maps, which is not currently available on iOS.

  • TS1702 Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

    Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

    Because the included Maps app no longer gets the maps data from Google, so no more street view.
    You can get a free Google Maps app from the iTunes App Store.

  • IPhone 2.2: How does one access street view?

    At my old age maybe I am just losing it. Can't figure out how to access the street view in Maps after updating to 2.2. I see no obvious option to go to that view from the Maps app. Help!
    Ken

    Drop a pin on a map where street view is available. Note that street view is not available everywhere so try a major metropolitan area first or your own neighborhood if in fact you know street view is available there.
    Tap the pin and you will see an icon on the left of the blue information window. Again, if street view is not available the icon will not be active (bright) it will be dimmed.
    Tap that icon. You should now see street view.
    Use swiping motions to change camera view or tap the arrow to move down the street.
    Tap the map icon to return to the map.

    See a a version compable with your iPod is available:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    Also, if you have iOS 6.1.6 yo have a 4G (has cameras). A 3G does not have cameras and can only go to 5.1.1

  • I bought the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book for CS6 by accident and I have CC. I know, stupid mistake. But I can't take return the book. Is is similar enough to CC that I can still get use out of the book? Thank you so much

    Each version of Adobe products builds upon the previous ones.  Some things like filters and advanced features may evolve or become deprecated over time, but the basic tools have remained pretty much the same for decades.  As long as you know there are subtle differences between versions, I think you will still get a great deal of value from C in a B for CS6.
