Google Introduces New Street View App

Today Google introduced a new Street View application for iOS and Android. Due to the differences between Google's app offerings on iOS and Android it's a bit confusing to describe what this app is replacing. On Android it simply serves as an update to the existing Street View for Maps application that was part of Google Maps. On iOS it actually replaces the Google Photo Sphere application, which was the only way for iOS users to take photo sphere pictures as they didn't have access to the Google Camera application that exists on Android.
The new application really just serves as a portal for users to look around the world at different street view photos. I haven't yet received the Android update as it's still rolling out, but my Photo Sphere app on iOS has updated and based on Google's blog post the interfaces for both are essentially the same. On both Android and iOS the app now integrates a camera for taking Photo Sphere pictures, and it encourages users to take them and add them to Google maps for other users to see. There's also support for hooking up an actual spherical camera to take more professional level images than your phone would.

It can only bring up street view photos? But can you "travel" up and down roads within street view like you can on the desktop street view?llamabot - Thursday, September 3, 2015 - link

You do understand that he's a writer on a tech site and wants you to look up the persona he posted as because you'll hit everything else he wrote and get more money right?Impulses - Friday, September 4, 2015 - link
Or said email is as already public and he couldn't care less either way...Brandon Chester - Friday, September 4, 2015 - link
We don't get paid by hits. Also that Gmail somehow got onto the spam lists long ago so I just don't care anymore, I've had to abandon it as an actual email account.cruzinforit - Saturday, September 12, 2015 - link
