Hack enables hidden Google Maps features on iPod touch
Apple may not have wanted you to be able to check out the streets and buildings from up close in Google Maps but there’s not much they can do to stop the hackers from figuring out ways around the artificially imposed restraints. It didn’t take long for someone to come up with a workaround that enables Street View and other new features that Apple withheld from iPod touch users in the software update 2.2.
As you might expect, it’s a fairly complicated process which requires having jailbroken your device and the ability to modify system-level files on it remotely using the Terminal. If that sort of thing is right up your alley and you don’t mind the potential voiding of warranty coverage, check out this post from the iPod touch Fans Forum.
