I got my iPad 16gb without 3g yesterday, and still getting used to it, and so far impressed. what i want to know is how do you view street view on google aerth or maps. on my iphone or ipod touch, you can drop a pin on a streetmap location and then click on that to see street view pictures. no such options on the ipad, only eagle eye view. there must be a way to see the street, can someone help me out please? thanks

I don't know whether you can use Google earth for a street view, but you can do using the built in map app.

That's exactly how it works on my iPad (with the google maps app).

yup, just drop a pin where you want to look, the pin box will then have the street view icon in it, if it's available.

I've never tried it on a iPhone, but it's quite something on the iPad.

Hold your finger for a second or two on the location you want.

Just been trying it on my iPad.

If I use Safari to go to maps.google.com or whatever then I don't appear to get the option to drop a pin in the browser window.

However if I go to the Google home page and tap the Maps link along the top of the screen it opens the Maps App on the iPad and I get the option to drop a pin and use Street View.

Obviously I can open the Maps App directly as well.

It works for me. In the Maps app, drop a pin on the street. Tap 'i' then tap the photo.
