I don't see any "get directions" capability, like Google Maps has.

And what about street view? I like to familiarise myself with
landmarks that I'll be seeing as I approach my destination. It cuts
down on distractions, like hunting for address numbers, etc,

There's no reason both links couldn't be included, though.
