Implementation
Street View is available as a component of Google Maps, as a web application, and as a mobile application for Android and iOS. Originally, Google Maps used Adobe Flash for Street View.[12] Google overhauled Google Maps in 2013. The newer version uses JavaScript extensively and has a JavaScript application programming interface.[13] The new Google Maps and Street View are slower than the old version.[14][15] A user can switch to the old version of Google Maps, which is especially useful when Google Maps is more sluggish than usual.[16][17]
