How does someone use the Street View feature in Google Maps?

Go to a city or a location on google maps. Drag the yellow man on the left side of the map to the exact location you would like to see on the map. At the exact location, let go of the mouse button and let go of the yellow man icon. You can use the map in the lower right hand corner to navigate, the circle in the top left corner to rotate and look left, right, up or down. The plus and minus icons on the top left can also be used zoom in and zoom out.
