Why the change? In the past you explored Streetside imagery by navigating between “bubbles,” or discrete 360 degree views, and moving down the street was accomplished by jumping from bubble to bubble. Check it out in a flat, straight, New York street, or a steep, twisty, San Francisco one. As you slide the street level imagery sideways, the view of the sidewalk is seamlessly constructed including an overlay of business listings, street names and store fronts. We are doing this by providing street level panoramas so you can take a virtual walk through the streets with a view of locations and landmarks. These changes represent a significant enhancement for desktop browsers, enabling you to quickly pan up and down the street to see the neighborhood and find businesses. If you take a look at a Bing map in Streetside view today you will notice that we’ve made a lot of changes.
