Google Maps for Mobile Adds Street View and Turn-by-Turn Directions

According to the official Google Mobile Blog, the mobile version of Google Maps has recently launched Street View and navigation functions.

To access these features, log in to the main page of Google Maps on the mobile site, enter your phone number, then click "send link to my phone," or use your mobile device to visit m.google.com/maps.

Currently, this function is supported by BlackBerry and other JAVA-enabled phones.

This new feature in the mobile version of Google Maps allows users to conveniently search for places they want to go. By clicking "Street View" on the map target, if the place has been captured by Google's Street View cameras, users can preview what the location looks like before visiting. For example, if you hear about a great restaurant, you can check out its appearance and location through Google Maps to ensure it meets your expectations.

The navigation feature also provides the shortest route from your current location to your destination, helping you avoid taking detours or getting lost while traveling to your destination.
