A new 'Pegman' (the figure used to relate Street View and a map location) icon appears permanently above the zoom slider in Google Maps. To go into Street View, all you need to do is drag Pegman onto the desired map location. Hovering over a location displays a Street View preview. Alternatively, adjusting the zoom slider to its maximum switches from map view to Street View. Furthermore, Street View now displays a small map of the selected location at the lower right corner of the image. This can be toggled to a split-screen arrangement (upper half image, lower half map) by clicking a button at the top right of the map. |
