So you now have the ability to wander around Martha&#8217;s Vineyard if you don&#8217;t have access to your tablet, computer, or phone &#8212; or pretty much any other Internet-connected device.<\/p>\n<p>The Wii U&#8217;s implementation is rather clever. As Darrell <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2012\/12\/05\/google-maps-on-the-wii-u-lets-you-wander-the-worlds-streets-with-your-gamepad-beginning-in-january\/\">explained previously<\/a>, the Wii U&#8217;s GamePad lets users pan around various locations while the satellite imagery is shown on the television. While it&#8217;s most certainly a novelty, it can provide an escape from a lowly apartment in Scranton.<\/p>\n<p>The app launched in Japan last week and Nintendo announced its U.S. availability today on the ever-entertaining <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/nintendo-direct\/archive\/02-14-2013\/\">Nintendo Direct videocast<\/a>. No word on the special Panorama View app that Nintendo originally revealed at E3. This novel app that will use 360-degree videos rather than static imagery was originally slated for a Spring 2013 release.<\/p>\n<p>Find the free app on the eShop right now.<\/p>\n<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='640' height='360' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HZ6tVLHF_NA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;%23038;fs=1&#038;%23038;showsearch=0&#038;%23038;showinfo=1&#038;%23038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;%23038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/tctechcrunch2011.wordpress.com\/758127\/\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=6w42VPpUwGI:HAe-LWrl780:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=6w42VPpUwGI:HAe-LWrl780:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=6w42VPpUwGI:HAe-LWrl780:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=6w42VPpUwGI:HAe-LWrl780:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=6w42VPpUwGI:HAe-LWrl780:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo just announced that Google Maps with Street View is now available for Wii U systems in North America.
