Street View debuts on Google’s mobile web app for iPhones and iPads today

Google has yet to publish a native Google Maps app for Apple’s iOS devices (although we hear it’s coming soon), but in the meantime it continues to beef up the experience on its iOS-focused web app, today adding its popular Street View functionality, for  users to see actual images of a location or a route. Google itself has yet to announce anything official.

What may have looked like a big loss for Google, at least in the short term, it is a win, with people turning to its product on the web to replicate the old experience, and now associating Google Maps with reliability and…usable functionality.
