Unlike on the computer, this is a seamless 360º view on the street. You navigate by dragging the picture in any direction … a completely smooth experience.

Directions are now 200% more useful with both transit and walking directions. Here’s the coolest part of the transit directions … it tells you when the next bus or train leaves. I mean, wow! The walking directions give you a walking time estimate as well, which is pretty damn cool. The only thing left here to do is add bike directions optimized for bike routes and lanes. Then it’s perfect.
