Instant Street View is a web service that was created by Nick Nicholaou using the google map API. The project featured street view, images, and information obtained from November 2016 till March 207. The Instant Street View supersedes the Google Satellite Map as it increases your chances of getting a clearer view of basically all streets in your neighborhood.

Instant Street view uses the Google Places Library Autocomplete service to quickly get the location you’re looking for. It uses the street view service to display the street view panoramas and allows for easy bookmarking or sharing to social media. It is fast and features clear images.

Instant Street View is only restricted to street-view and images of building on the roads rendering it unavailable to view in-depth into houses, business places, schools or any other buildings and results has it that the map was last updated in March 2017. However, the street view is still a very great option for knowing so much about a neighborhood from the comfort of your PC with few clicks. The website is not mobile responsive and can easily be reached through a mobile app available on the Google App Store.

Pros of the Instant Street View

1. The Instant Street View can be used to view a street view of any street that appears on the Google Map.
