How to use Google Street View Maps in your Mobile Screens.
The screenshot below is from an Android smart phone. The APP used is the standard Google Map APP provided in both Android and iPhone.
Following the marked Roadway
- See a light blue line along the roadway (green arrow points at the blue line).
~ View Sample Screenshot Image Below ~
- Place your finger on the blue line and move along the roadway. The blue line gets brighter & sharper and easier to see.
- Moving your finger along the blue line causes the map to follow the roadway.
- If you cannot move along the roadway, it is because your finger is not on the blue line.
- Avoid using quick motions because you will lose control of the movement.
- you can follow a road so long as the blue line is visible. If you get to the end of the blue line, go to the 360 map movement below to turn around and use the blue line in the opposite direction.
360 degree Map Movement / View
- Red arrow indicates a left or right swipe motion – swipe slowly to ensure control of the movement,
- Avoid touching the blue line, that is why the swiping is above the blue line.
- Swipe (slowly) to the left to turn the view in that direction, the map will rotate. Same applies to the right, to rotate the map view in that direction.
- Any swipe movement above or beside (but not touching) the blue line will move / rotate the map in the direction of the swipe.
