Google's mobile maps leaves iPhones out

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Internet search engine giant Google says its new version of Google Maps will help U.S. pedestrians envision where they might be going.

The Google Maps feature called Street View provides photographic images of streets that allows the viewer to move forward and backward, or tilt the images to various angles.

Moving an icon to new locations on the map's grid provides for quick changes to visual displays of new locations.

The feature is now available for BlackBerry and other phones, but not accessible by iPhone, CNet News reported Wednesday.

Dialing in with an iPhone returns with the message, "Sorry, Google Maps does not work on your Apple iPhone," the news service reported.
