Waiting for Google Street View and more for iPhone users

Many iPhone users will appreciate the addition of more Google map features to the phone.  With the upcoming firmware upgrade 2.2 expected later this year (hopefully not too much longer), Google will be adding a couple new products to the existing suite of Google map applications on the iPhone: Google Street View, and better navigation instructions for people walking or taking the bus in Google Maps.

The driver’s-eye view offered in Google Street View made its first appearance not on the iPhone, but on other smartphones such as the BlackBerry and the Android G1.  But Google had been hard at work at bringing that to the popular iPhone.  Google Maps for mobile makes it easy to see Street View imagery when you're on the go.  Users can view imagery at each turn in driving or walking directions, and study a storefront's facade so that you don't pass it up while you're moving by.
