Streets is the best way to browse Street View panoramas on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. CONVENIENT Drop a pin, search for a city or address or find a person from your contacts to view a nearby 360° street panorama. Street View coverage is displayed in blue. Switch the map to satellite or terrain mode or tilt and rotate the high quality vector map with 3D buildings. EASY TO USE Walking through panoramas has never been easier using the interactive, expandable mini map that also displays your viewing angle and field of view. Switch between different floors or take a trip down memory lane with “Timeline”. Virtually traveling abroad is even more immersive and fun with Live Panorama mode: Look around in the panorama simply by rotating the device. INTEGRATED WITH OTHER APPS Streets is the ideal companion to the Maps app. Launch Streets from “Maps” for any location and quickly watch the Street View panorama. On iPad, drag a pin location from the Maps app, a contact, or a textual address into the Streets app to find nearby panoramas. Even geotagged photos can be dropped in Streets to find 360° spherical images near the photo location. If you’re already using our location finder app Where To?, you’ll also be able to take advantage of tight integration with Streets to view your location and snap right back when you’re done. COMMUNICATIVE Share Street View panoramas using drag-and-drop (on iPad) or the share sheet. Handoff and AirDrop let you easily transfer the currently viewed panorama between multiple devices. Mark panoramas as favorites that are automatically synced between devices. Rename favorites and organize them in folders. 2000+ GALLERY PLACES More than 2000 hand-picked “Gallery Places” show spectacular places such as museums, castles, national parks, ski slopes and even underwater attractions. Geysers in Yellowstone national park, old masterpieces in Amsterdam’s van Gogh museum or NASA’s rocket launch pad in Cape Kennedy are just a few of the breathtaking places waiting to be explored. Gallery places also include background information such as descriptions and links. Apple Watch App Streets is the only app capable of displaying 360° Street View panoramas on the Apple Watch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flymaps Live at 100% against Streets's 56%. Flymaps Live also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Streets's advantage is ratings volume (151 vs 10) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
