No I suspect you are the minority. Streetview is nice but hardly critical.

And transit integration is important ONLY for those in the US but poorly implemented/not existent in the rest of the world. Most public transport providers I've seen have had their own dedicated apps for transit for years now.

You are wrong. Hint: I don't live in the U.S.

> Most public transport providers I've seen have had their own dedicated apps for transit for years now.

... and most suck. Even those that don't suck explicitly, suck simply by requiring the user to switch apps for something that is very naturally integrated with mapping.

And of course in the case of cities like Tokyo, where there are dozens of different rail operators, and a single trip often involves more than one, provider-specific apps are a decidedly poor solution.
