As I was driving home from the Blackberry Bold Experience Event last night, I received an upgrade prompt from my Blackberry 8820 for Google Maps. On the way home I upgraded to version 2.3.2 which to my pleasant surprise provided “Street View” giving you the capability of viewing imagery while driving or walking.
Google Maps for mobile makes it easy to see Street View imagery when you’re on the go. View imagery at each turn in driving or walking directions, and study a storefront’s facade so that you don’t pass it up while you’re moving by.
Street View is currently available for BlackBerry and some Java-enabled phones.
Using the trackball you can rotate the view 360 degrees and also expand the “street view” to fit the whole screen.
Watch the video below to see a demo.

If you already have it, then upgrade. If you don’t then you can pick it up by pointing your BlackBerry browser to: www.google.com/gmm
You can click here to fill out a survey and let Google know what you think of Google Maps for BlackBerry.
