Actually if you take a look at the sequence of the example posted below you will see that it is possible to get to street view from within google maps on the iPad. 1: initiate a search, in this case "Park Cinemas, Paso Robles" < https://db.tt/tWVzbekm > < https://db.tt/3wmdqUfO > 2: tap on the resulting info thumbnail. That takes you to the full location info page and there you tap on "Street view", and there it is, Street View in Google Maps on an iPad in iOS7. < https://db.tt/J6NAyNYT > < https://db.tt/blHpsTBu > 3: If you want to save that as a "Saved Place", in the full info page tap on the blue Star, the color will change to gold. < https://db.tt/J6NAyNYT > 4: To access "saved places" tap on the personal info icon to the right of the search field window. < https://db.tt/byPaAO9f > -- Regards, Savageduck

I can get that from other map apps I can add permanent pins to. Those I can't get decent directions and distances from, however.

The word "bookmark" doesn't appear in googlr Maps. There is a blue star with the word "Save" under it. Tap on the blue star and it turns to gold with that location information saved as one of your "Saved Places" They don't call them "bookmarks" so you are not going to find any mention of "bookmarks". >>>> >>> You mean "map history"?

You say it can be done, but you don't explain how. I ask for an example of how you can click on an address and have it open in Google Maps. You fail to provide one, but continue to claim it is possible. I don't _know_ there is no example. I just know you haven't provided one.
