Does MKMapView support the "little man" street view?

There is no little man icon to drag onto a street in a map. Is there a way to enable him programmatically?

Thanks.

The MKMapView does not have support for the "little man" (Pegman) or Street View.

One alternative is to use the Google Maps Javascript API V3 directly. In a UIWebView, load an html file (added as a resource in your app) containing a Google map. For sample html files containing Street View, look for the streetview-*.html files on the Google Maps Javascript API V3 Examples page.

Another alternative is to call the Maps app from yours using openURL: and pass it a Map Link. This will only work on the device (the simulator doesn't have the Maps app and will open the browser instead).
