Google Maps Mobile App Now Does Full-Screen Street View
Posted by John Mahoney at 3:10 AM on September 18, 2008
Google's been busy with the Street View drones--and now you can see their tireless work on your phone with today's new version of the Maps app. Standing on your boring corner, you can full-screen, say, Tokyo's streets and compare. The new version also adds more accurate geolocations and a few other interface tweaks, which Googler Josh was kind enough to walk us through, even while hallucinating the Street View "peg man" in his pocket.

Hmm, no update is showing up on my Blackberry for Maps. Anyone else having an issue with the Google Updater on Blackberry not showing a Maps update?

It is just weird that someone I don't know, drove up to my house, took a picture of it and posted it on the internet.

Some asshole down the hall from me posted a lovely "Map To My House" and Flickr'd a photo of the building.
Not that it matters. StreetView probably has a picture of my cat licking peanut-butter off my nutsack.
OMG! Ponies!
