Is it just me, or were other people cursing the StreetView interface. It seems to be "sticky" exactly when it would be most annoying. The number of times I unintentionally moved or zoomed was over 50% of the number of times I intentionally moved or zoomed.
This seems to be a pattern with Google interfaces. I've gone into the "flyover perspective" mode 10 times as often unintentionally as I have intentionally. The reason for this is that two finger pinch-zoom usually lets you pan as a side effect. Google Maps has hijacked this to signal the perspective thing. This is horrendous, because the ability to zoom and pan is really useful.
