Nope. Street View has never helped me get there any faster.

It may come as a surprise to you that some of us have been using
computers since the 80s, before such maps existed, and naturally have
used many different map services over the years; but it is no less true.
I have tried Street View many times since it was first introduced, and
haven't found it useful to me. Hem and haw all you want, but you cannot
change that fact.
