Snoop at street level with Google Maps

Google has added Street Maps to its location-based Google Maps for Mobile application.

Street Maps uses Google’s fleet of camera-enabled vehicles to give users street view imagery, walking directions and community reviews. It’s now available for BlackBerry and Java-enabled phones, but not for iPhone as yet.

Google Maps is a very popular mobile app, and it’s significant that Google has made this enhancement with just days to go until it unveils its first Android handset, the HTC Dream, with T-Mobile USA.
