Andy Szybalski, User Experience Designer from Google outlined the new direction features that appear in Google Street View.

Andy comments “Street View lets you virtually behold amazing sights like Yosemite’s El Capitan and The World’s Largest Rocking Chair without ever leaving your computer. But if you’re like me, occasionally you need to go somewhere in real life.

You can follow the arrows to explore along your route, previewing things like landmarks, speed limits, and road conditions.
