Google Street View Gets Smarter Navigation, 3D Effects

Street Viewhas generate us a near - endless supply ofshenanigans , but it ’s always been awkward to actually use . Now , Google has implement semi-3D “ Smart Navigation , ” which makes your virtual walking and/or stalking a lot easy , and style , mode cooler .

Google has overhauled the seafaring system wholly , so that you do n’t have to apply the slow , unintuitive arrow to make your way down the street . Instead , your pointer is mapped on a rough 3D model of the scene , with a convincing sense of depth . Just click where you want to go , and Street View take you there , make the transition with an unexpectedly convincing pseudo-3D burden

It also work for off - road good deal , like storefronts or distant scenery . These items are mapped as well , so if you lead your cursor to , say , the front threshold of your house , Street View will automatically take you to the practiced potential viewpoint . The above video explains it all reasonably well , but the upgrades are live , so you may as well just try it out . [ GoogleviaPC World ]
