We've made a small tweak to this, so that Standard users can still access single-screen Street View in the usual way without the need for extra mouse clicks.

Thanks for the feedback Trevor. I'll see if we can find a way to display the Street View pegman by default for Standard users to avoid the need for the extra clicks.

sadly yet another negative feature that is slowly taking away much of the ease of use that made Plotaroute such a wonderful tool a couple of years ago. If you are not premium and want to see streetview you now have to press the streetview icon at the top of the screen, read all about the new "premium split screen feature" for the orange streetview icon to appear. Once you then use streetview the icon disappears.......and you repeat the need for two clicks to get it back again.

We're very excited to announce news of a brand new Premium feature on plotaroute.com - Street View Split Screen.
One of the important things to consider when planning a new route, is how suitable the roads are for the activity. Are they safe enough to navigate on foot? Do they have cycle lanes? Do they have pavements or sidewalks? Are they very narrow or busy? Google Street View helps to answer these questions and has long been a free feature of the plotaroute.com route planner, but until now you have had to switch between the map and the Street View.
Our brand new Split Screen feature gives Premium members the option of splitting the screen into resizable sections, to show both the map and Street View at the same time. This gives you a ground level view of the road as you plot your route.
To activate the Street View Split Screen, click on the Street View icon in the Map Type box at top of the route planner.
Please note, this feature is only available on the deskop version of the website, so is not available on mobile devices.
To see the new Split Screen feature in action, take look at this demo video:
If you currently have a Standard account and would like to take advantage of this feature and the other benefits of Premium membership, please take a look our our Membership Options.
