Google Street View Gets Usable With Smart Navigation
Google Street View Gets Usable With Smart Navigation: "Google’s street-level mapping imagery – called Street View – can at times be useful if you want to see what a place you’re trying to find looks like. However, if you’ve ever wanted to explore beyond a snapshot of a location, you’ve likely found the user experience fairly cumbersome, if not downright unusable at times.
Today, the Google Maps (Google Maps reviews) team has unveiled a new feature that makes actually navigating through Street View significantly better. Now, Maps will show you, “an oval when your mouse is following a road and a rectangle when moving across the facades of buildings.” Google (Google reviews) refers to these shapes as “pancakes,” and once you figure out how exactly they work, they turn Street View into a fairly enjoyable – if not highly useful – experience."
