The Street View maps are developed in partnership with Immersive Media, which according to the O'Reilly Radar blog is "a company that has an eleven lens camera capable of taking full, high-res video while driving along city streets." What that means is that these Street View maps, because they are extracted from video shot while driving, are not just static images at random points around the city. They can be advanced fluidly down the street.
