It's an impressive feat. But I rarely use it tbh. If I'm driving somewhere tricky then I might familiarise myself, but rarely.

Since we cant street view there Im guessing that part of the the other 2% would be North Korea.

I used to be on street view, walking back from the shops near where I work. Not any more. Progress? Pah.

Stopped using it other then when I truely have to. I find the interface terrible to maneover around and getting from maps to streetview seems to be very hit and miss, sometimes the icon is there, other times it isn't.
