Street View

Written by Maddie Wolfe

Overview

Street View is a technology featured in SCOUT that provides panoramic views from positions along many streets in the world. This feature allows you to jump into the map and pan up and down along the road network. The availability of street view is subject to where the Google van has visited - in some cases in and out of parking lots or even inside store locations. 

To use Street View drag "Pegman" onto the map along a blue highlighted road and follow these instructions to navigate.

  • To move around, hover your cursor in the direction you want to go. Your cursor becomes an arrow that shows which direction you're moving.

  • To see where you might go next, look for the X. Click once to travel to the X.

  • To look around, click and drag your mouse. You can also use the arrows to the left and right of the compass.

  • To position your street view north, click the compass.

To exit street view, just click "Exit Street View" in the middle top of your screen.
