Pictures on Google Maps

[tonyag9]

Can someone please tell me a quick way to see landmark photos on Google Maps? For instance, when I want to see what a business looks like or someone's house or whatever, I now do it by going to directions, putting in the address, then pulling up the map and then clicking the finish line and THEN it will show me a pic of it. Is there any quicker way to do this? I figure there has GOT to be and I'm just missing it lol Thanks!

Bueller? LOL Can anyone help me with this?

You can just long press anywhere on the map and you'll get a popup with the address or intersection you're pressing. Tap the popup and you'll get a list of options including navigate, get direction, and if available at that location, "street view".

Oh great!! I KNEW there had to be a more efficient way! Thanks so much!

You're welcome. I found that by accident myself. One of the best ways to find out how to do stuff with the droid is touch it, press it, short or long - until it does what you want! lol

Hahaha yeah, I've learned that too - don't know why I didn't think of it for this! Instead I kept pressing the "menu" key (also a good one) trying to find that option. Thanks again! Droid rocks!!!
