It is handy for commercial places where you can check
the street view to see the sign outside the place.

Its also useful when telling someone about some
particularly architectural detail so you don’t have
to take a photo yourself etc, just point them at the
street view etc.

Also handy to see what sort of area it is with garage/yard
sales so you can have some idea about which are more
likely to be the sort of place you are likely to get useful
stuff from when you have a choice of which ones to go
to first etc.

> So Apple Maps will do just fine, thanks.

But can't do street view when that is useful.

I'd rather use the most frequently updated mapper
which also has the best current traffic info etc and
which has useful features like street view that can
be used when they are useful and which keeps
adding new features like cached maps etc sooner.
