Can't Find Street-View in Google Maps for iPhone 2.2?

Street-View is probably the single most visually impressive feature in iPhone OS 2.2 -- you can almost hear the next iPhone TV ad being revved up with it already! Problem is, it's almost hidden away like an easter egg. If you're still having trouble finding it, The iPhone Lens wants you to know you're not alone. More than that, they've set up a handy how-to to get you up and viewing streets asap.

    The street view looks great. Too bad it's not available on the iPod Touch. :(

    Major UI failure on Apples part here. I don't know anyone who found it easily, and were all tech-savvy!

  3. Taylor says:

    It was so hard to find when I first got it. But after playing with it for a little while I eventually found it. :)

    What the hell? how is it hard to find it. All you have to do is drop a pin.

  5. Edgar says:

    You can enable street view on iPods .. Only if u have it jailbreak

    My iPhone went into a way more detailed view than this (I'm talkin 360 features), but it did it by mistake. I want to do it again but I don't know how it did dat in the first place. Does anyone know how to go in farther on the iPhone?

  7. Steve says:

    Just the fact that I had to search online on how to activate means is a bad sign. It is hard to find and should be a button on the main map display.

    I have an ipod touch 3g and i can get street view and its not jailbroken.

    I've only had an iPhone since the original one was released. Now on the iPhone 4, on 1st Jan 2011, only today have I found google streetview, doh! I am quite disappointed that whoever designed the map interface didn't make it easier to find- it is like an easter egg. It is beautiful to use once you find it though.
