How does one get streetview? I just get Google maps.
At the top end of the zoom in / zoom out tool in the top left part of your map, there's a little orange human figure.
Drag this onto your street of choice - If the street you're dragging it to does not change to being highlighted in blue, it means they've not been down there with a camera.
