is it possible to access street view in random places? i mean, beside the commercial places that are found by searches. As long the street view pictures are available, of course.

Yeah same as the old Google maps app that was built into the iOS. Just put your finger down anywhere on the map preferably in satellite or normal mode on top of someone's house or building and you'll get that address location and if available Street view of that area! I'm sure you probably already figured this out but I read your comment tried it & works fine like be 4
