Re: Is there a Google Maps w/ Streetview AND G-Sensor working?
G1 has a compass. Allows for absolute orientation. Neither GPS nor accelerometers can do this (GPS provides absolute position; not orientation. It can tell which direction you are MOVING, but not which direction you are facing.) The compass is absolutely necessary for streetview. Accelerometers also suffer from drift, which make them problematic for that kind of an application anyway.
