Is there an animated preview using Google streetview ?
-
I am a returning user and seem to recall that previously there was a way to "travel" a route using Streetview images to quickly and easily determine the types of roads you might encounter. I used this as I wanted to avoid single track roads or dirt tracks for instance.
Is this feature still available? Or am I mixing it up with some other site that I used to use? I have a Gold membership by the way
Thanks

@Paul-Slater-0 Google StreetView is available for Gold subscriptions, click on the little man and then click on the road that you want to see.
Always willing to help if I can.

@Nick-Carthew Thanks, and sorry I was talking about the web version not phone. But in any case, I know I can click manually anywhere in the route to see the Streetview image but what I seem to recall is something like this video from elsewhere, where you can sit back and "drive" the route rather than having the manually click all along the route

@Marinus-van-Deudekom Hi, all I can see is the option to drop a pin to see the Streetview image manually. I thought there was a feature to sit back and allow the route to be "driven" on Streetview. I am on the web/browser version using a Gold licence
Something like this (from a different site, but you'll get the idea):

@Paul-Slater-0 The website has the same option. Have you tried the Animate option? This will simulate your route and include any notes and photos attached to the route points.

Thanks Nick - as far as I can determine the Animate option only does a top-down (birds-eye view) of the route, not a series of Streetview images every "x" kilometres or something

@Paul-Slater-0 Correct, but it will show Streetview photos if you have added them to a route point.
