Fair enough,but from my POV, street view has a hardly-usable UI. The way you have to click, render, click, render, click, render, Street View works the way MapQuest worked before Google Maps was built.
Street Slide is to Street View what Google Maps was to MapQuest.
- bandushrew 16y agoThat is absolutely true, of course. The thing is that I very rarely actually want to scroll right along a street, I usually only want to get a visual of the place that I am going. Now, there have been times where I was interested in going exploring, but not as a matter of utility - just because the street view ui begged me to and I was interested in how it worked. Having said that, I believe that there is a definite place for something that lets me zoom along in 3d land to explore the entire street - because I would love to be able to explore Paris for example - but that really requires a free form of movement that this solution still doesn't speak to.
- fuzzythinker 16y agoMaybe that is precisely why you didn't want to use it -- google's street view interface was not right for you.
- bandushrew 16y agoyeah, it could be. I do use street view, but just because I find it useful to have a visual of the entrance and location of the place I am going. But I agree, aside from the playful inclination to go and explore, its never been a big thing for me.
- arethuza 16y ago"I very rarely actually want to scroll right along a street" I do that all the time for country roads to plan cycle routes - the current Google interface leaves a lot to be desired.
