Yes - but you can't use GPS. The iPad's native Maps app needs an Internet connection, because the maps are downloaded dynamically. So, go to a location on Maps, drop a pin, then touch the pin, then touch the small photographic graphic and you're into Street View.

But there no image appears..may be as some one else said above street viewing don't allows every where, so can u please tell me some loc where street viewing works ....I Wanamaker experience that location ...thanks ..

Street View works everywhere in the UK and US, so check out some of those locations to check to see if you can get it working. Then go to the location you're really interested in. If it doesn't work there, then it's because Google weren't allowed to Street View that location. Everywhere in the UK and US is available though - you can even see my house!! :D

not everywhere is actually available to street view anyway.

Folks, pay attention to the comment above. If a location has not been photographed from the "street," there is no "street view" option. There are many, many places that have no street view.

Tim, you're incorrect in saying that "everywhere" in the US and UK are available in street view. Many locations in rural areas and small towns are not included.

P.S. My house is available in street view, too. And when I use navigation on my droid phone, it automatically pops up the picture of my house when I arrive. It's rather surrealistic, though, since the photograph has the car I'm driving already sitting in the driveway. :)

Yes - you're right - not everywhere. I apologise. I should have said there are no Government restrictions - if Google didn't come there, then it's not on-line.

Considering the invaluable advice and information you usually dispense, you get a pass on a minor error, Tim.
