Google Maps Street View not working?
« on: February 21, 2023, 04:19:58 PM »
Beginning mid last week, Google Maps Street View isn't working on my PC, neither browser-based nor standalone app. I usually run Chrome but tried it on Edge and Firefox, too. No joy. The Android app version works fine.

I know the dedicated Street View app is getting axed, but it was my understanding that Street View from Maps would be unaffected.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Works for me on Brave.

Working in all my browsers. What did Brad do to piss off Google?  :laugh:

Figured out... something.

I guess I now have to "officially" enable Street View mode rather than simply placing a location marker.

I was getting into Street View by clicking on a roadway, then clicking the popup it gave for that location marker. If Street View data was available, the popup would have a thumbnail of the Street View image for that location. That way doesn't seem to work any more. Now, I have to enable Street View mode by clicking on Browse Street View Images (the yellow stick figure in the lower right corner). When I do that, it highlights all roadways with Street View images and seems to work as usual from there.

It's irritating that I can't do the simple single-click access any more. Yea, progress.  ;/

I always just zoom in until it automatically goes to street view.

Street View seems to work OK for me, but I'm seeing more and more locations that have been deliberately blurred out.
