All i can say about google maps is that it kicks ***! i get gps, directions, and can search for restaurants and such?! and i don't have to pay extra to use it?!
No doubt Google Maps is a great tool. But it lacks the voice turn-by-turn navigation, it cannot pin-point me when I am inside a building, it does triangulation half of them, and the map redraw is much slower than the pay-applications.
Not always, but very often, you get what you pay for.

i don't think you can do street view at least if you can, i haven't figured it out yet, lol
i've always had street view on my storm using Google Maps.
Just click on the map anywhere, a box will pop up and simply scroll down to street view!!! If street view isn't available for that city it will say "street view is not available" or something like that.
but i agree, Google maps is amazing, and Latitude helps out a bunch too!
same here except i wish that it worked with bbm because now i have to keep bb maps so than when i use the send location feature in bbm it uses bb maps instead of google maps which is really annoying
