If I want to "travel" along street view, I prefer Google Maps app, but I
also have a new Street View app that's not bad.  It now takes me 3-4
different apps to approach the functions that were all in the original Maps
app, but that's the bad part of my new iPad, which is so good at many other
things and so light.
