Google Street View now easier to navigate

Google Street View now easier to navigate

Google has improved the navigation features on their Street View service available on Google Maps.

Until now, users had to click on arrow buttons to move ahead and back on Google Street View images.

They have now updated the service and users can now just double click on a particular spot to look at it closely.

Google said:

We have been able to accomplish this by making a compact representation of the building facade and road geometry for all the Street View panoramas using laser point clouds and differences between consecutive pictures.

This new feature addition has greatly enhanced the usability of the Street View service.
