Street View is great. But making it it 3D is the wrong priority. First, they should focus the cameras or otherwise produce high resolution 3D instead of blurry signs that can't be read. Businesses and others put signs outside their properties so that information about the location can be read by people on the street. Motel signs are illegible and it's very frustrating to not be able to read even the big writing giving the name of the place, let alone the fine print. A sign is written in 2D so making it a blurry 3D image will not be useful. Also, people need to be in focus so we can see their happy faces rather than a hopeless blur. Lots of other aspects would be greatly enhanced by resolution rather than 3D. Mqurice
