Thanks to
debernardis
, there is now a
Google Streetview app
for the N900, based on Easy Debian, despite the fact that Google Maps requires flashplayer 10 to use streetview, which the N900 probably will continue to be lacking even after PR1.3!
In
this post
debernardis had produced a very nice html/javascript page which used to give one access to google streetview through microB even after the flashplayer letdown. But for some reason this recently stopped working in microB, while the other available browsers in Maemo are rather useless because of missing hover mode for the cursor.
Amazingly, in Easy Debian's iceweasel, debernardis' page still works and is fully functional (in my opinion even superior to how streetview works within google maps when it works)! So by creating a desktop item which just opens this html file, Easy Debian provides sort of a dedicated google streetview app, and I've given a short how-to
in this post
.
Later in the above thread and summarized in my
log page
one can find how to do even better with the
kazehakase
browser, which is not part of standard Easy Debian, but which can be installed from squeeze. With that one can have a little faster start-up, and automatically full screen, so that it really looks like a dedicated app!
EDIT: PR1.3 indeed didn't bring flash 10 or even restore streetview in javascript for microB, so it's still up to Easy Debian for helping out here!
