Yeah, it is cool and creepy - I saw my car in my driveway at my address. Makes you wonder when they were there taking the picture and all... Only thing is, th.e address they gave me is off by a number. My house number is 69 and they have it as 70. It's a really cool app though

Works great except one thing - my GPS doesn't turn off if I uncheck the box. I have to exit and re-start the program

R u saying that the GPS will still track u even when u uncheck the option in the menu OR r u saying that the blue dot stays on screen at the point where u turned off GPS?

The Blue dot stays, I assumed that meant the GPS was still on. I'll go out soon and try it, and see if it tracks after I uncheck the box.

However, I found another problem. In the last version, I could paste GPS coordinates to the "Get Directions" choice. My wife and I use SmartPhoneTracker, which allows either of us to sent a text string to the other's phone, and within a minute get a text back with GPS coordinates. We always could copy the coordinates and then paste it into both the "Start Point" and "End Point" under "Get Directions" and it would show the point the other person was at on Google Maps. That no longer works, as it won't allow a paste. No menu will pop up at all, including to paste in a physical address. Despite the "cool factor" of the street view, the loss of other more useful features makes me want to switch back until they get it fixed.

I can get it to work in a round-about way on Live Search, but I always liked doing it on Google better

I understand what you're saying...lol..but it is called Google MAPS! After all Live Search can't give you street view!

Thanks for the heads up on how to use the street view. Not sure why i never thought of tap and hold. The street view is cool although they dont have it in my area yet.
