Google Maps is adding a new option that will make it easier to navigate the map using Street View. This new option will allow us to see the panoramas more easily without losing sight of the location on the map.
Street View has a new view in Google Maps
Google Maps allows you to choose different types of maps and layers for our navigation. And one of the additional features that we find in Google Maps is the integration of Street View, which allows us to visit the areas we choose at street level.
And while we can spend hours wandering around the map looking for places in Street View, it can be a bit uncomfortable to use it in Google Maps from mobile as we lose sight of the location on the map. . So if we are looking for a new location, we need to interlace the Street View with the standard map.
To solve this problem, Google Maps offers a new option for Street View: split screen. Instead of viewing Street View images in full screen, we can split the screen to keep an eye on the map. It might not be a good idea to use it every time, as the mobile screen may be too small for so much information, but having both views simultaneously has its advantages.
This will save us time since we will be able to locate ourselves more easily when we are in the street looking for a certain address. No action is required to activate this Street View split view. You will see that when you choose Street View, it will automatically show you at the top of its view, and the rest of the map at the bottom. As you scroll through shared panoramas in Street View, the location on the map changes.
If you prefer to have Street View in full screen, no problem, because you can change the mode at any time. While this seems like a minor update, it can save time and a lot of clicks as we won't have to continuously switch screens to not lose the location.
