iMaps+ for Google Maps

Previous operating systems for the I-pad had this feature built in making it possible to look at streetview of a house or address from contacts in your address book. With the new I-pad this feature doesn't work anymore. I assumed this app would restore this feature. It sort of works but often does not show the correct house or address. Knowing what my house looks like and friend's houses look like I was able to drive up or down the street or look on the opposite side of the street. However, for the most part, it's a random view of a street somewere or someplace if you have no idea what the house or address is that you're looking for from your contacts. This app may have other features or qualities but street view from contacts is why I purchased this app and it doesn't work as well as expected.

I love the pointer that shows which direction you are going, when streetview cruising. I have an idea that I've been looking for, for years: ok, so you place a mark on a map, then a second mark, and then get all the info that you would get if you typed in addresses in the "to" and "from" fields... Such as, distance between points, directions from one point to the other, option to label points, etc. this way, if we are already looking at a place on the map, we can set a point there, just like we can on regular maps, HOWEVER, we can set a second point, and opt to get directions from the first point to that second point. I don't know how many times I've had to copy and paste addresses when it would be easier to tap and get directions. You can name it iPoints.

I saw this street view on someone’s phone long before I had a smartphone- and after catching up and coming into the 21st century with the iPhone, I was always disappointed I never had that view i remembered once seeing. I do all the contributor activities and have all the ‘google’ map apps and this app takes it to a different level. Luckily, i happened to STUMBLE across it and as much ‘iPhone understanding’ as I THINK I have, I knew nothing about it! Please get a billboard, sky writers, or cigars made that alert others of this magnificent advancement! Thank you

as an armchair traveler I love this program. I use it to look at everything. It is super fast and super efficient ; now they have had to add a fee due to Google charging fees for their access but for me it's totally worth it. Google maps has certain limitations and this program lets me do Street view with a lot of functions that I can't do the other way. Some people on the Internet whine if they ever have to pay a subscription and I try to avoid them too but in this particular case it is worth every penny. This is probably my favorite app. Bob Cook

The views provided by this map are far superior to those of the Google Map app. This app provides full screen view of the map, unlike the Google app, which uses 1/3 of the screen showing frequently unwanted information. I frequently want to view large areas at a time, which this app makes possible. In addition, the user interface is well thought out and effective.
