The New York Times is reporting that the Google Maps web app will get Street View in the next two weeks.
You can still use Google's maps - on the Web. Visit maps.google.com and accept the offer to create a Home-screen icon for you. You won't get spoken directions, but you'll get written directions, public transportation details, live traffic reports and, of course, Google's far superior maps and data. (In two weeks, you'll be able to get Street View this way, too, says Google.) And you can install the Google Plus Local app for full access to Google's more complete database of shops and businesses.
Notably, the article also confirms a previous report that said a native Google Maps app for iOS is a couple months away.
No compass integration makes navigating with your iPhone crap. After the crap ios6 update I'm looking at different phones. I would have loved to buy the iPhone 5 but it has crap maps.
