Today, Mytour will guide you on how to switch to Street View mode and view location images in Google Maps on your Android device.
Steps to follow
Launch the Google Maps app on your Android device. The Maps app has a red pin icon on the map. It is typically located in the Apps menu.
Tap the EXPLORE (Explore) button. This button, featuring a gray pin icon, is located at the bottom of the screen.
Identify the location you want to view on the map. You can tap the screen and drag the map, or pinch with two fingers to zoom in or out.
- Alternatively, use the search bar to find a specific location or coordinates. The search bar, labeled "Search here", is located at the top of the screen.
Press and hold on the map at the desired location. A red pin will drop at the location you select. The preview of the Street View image for that location will appear at the bottom-left corner of the map.
Tap the Street View preview. The preview image will appear at the bottom-left corner after you drop the pin. Tapping it will switch you to full-screen Street View mode.
Tap and drag the screen to explore the surroundings. Street View offers a 360-degree view of the selected location.
Swipe up and down on the blue roads. You can navigate and walk around in Street View mode. If a road or street is marked with a blue line on the map, swipe along the blue path to explore the area.
