Google Street View for Android is a feature integrated into Google Maps for Android devices. It allows users to virtually explore streets and locations around the world using imagery captured by Google[SQ]s camera cars and other sources. Essentially, you can see 360° panoramic photos of streets, buildings, and landmarks, making it useful for :

*

Planning trips:

Checking out a location before you visit, seeing the surrounding area, etc.
*

Virtual tourism:

Exploring places you might not otherwise be able to visit.
*

Local exploration:

Getting a better sense of a neighborhood or street.
*

Business discovery:

Seeing the exterior of a business before going there.
*

Accessibility:

Helping users plan routes that are more accessible based on their needs.

It[SQ]s not a standalone app; it[SQ]s a functionality within the Google Maps app. You access it by dragging the Pegman (the little yellow figure) onto the map and then dragging it around to explore the Street View imagery.
