Unless you want to spend a long time mapping tiles onto a 3D world, you can give a link to the maps app, which lets the user choose Street View.

If you want an easy way to embed Street View, use the (fairly new) Street View Image API, which returns static images for a location and heading (relative to the road):

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=400x400&location=40.720032,%20-73.988354&fov=90&heading=235&pitch=10&sensor=false
