Ok Im looking through all of the new features & I see that the comapass now interacts with the map and gives you a beacon as to what direction you are facing.
Except I dont see the cone beacon coming out of the blue dot?
And also, arent you able to show how manipulate the satellite view in order to see the fronts of buildings?
how do you do that?

Touch the arrow at the bottom left of the Maps screen to enable the compass
see the fronts of buildings?
Where Google Street View is available, press the page curl bottom right, drop a pin, then press the person in orange circle icon on the pin to switch to Street View. If the icon is not there, then Street View is not available for that location.

You bring up street view by placing a pin at location you wish to view (use the Drop Pin option or pull up an address which places a pin.
Tap the pin.
If you see an Orange person icon in the info for the pin, it means Google has street view info so tap the orange person and you are taken to street view.

Wow ok, very cool, I got them both to work!
Thanks.
Is there any way to have the map/compass combo tell you if you are facing NSWE etc? i see that it gives you a beacon cone in the direction you are standing, but that would be awesome if it tells you NSWE also.
