How do you use the street view? I don't see an option to use it anywhere nor do i see it when i do a search like in the video on their site.

The street view should be available when you search for a specific route or location. Click on a turn or location that results from a search to see if it gives you the option for street view.

thanks. i will have to try this out when i get off work.

i wish there was a way to change fonts. when i click on tap for options, things are kinda hard to read. the address itself shows up but the fonts used for the text arent clear as they are in the java version.

it will be nice to have street view working with gps and hopefully the my location will work. i remember in previous versions it would say something like it didnt work with this version or handset or something along those terms.

The street view only works in areas where Google has had the streets put on video.http://media.popularmechanics.com/im...ve-cam-470.jpg

This version finally seems to allow you to install to your storage card. With previous versions even if you selected install to storage card the default installation process ALWAYS seemed to put it into device memory. This went straight to the card with no problemo.

late,

Does anyone notice any significant performance difference when installing to storage card vs. device memory?
