Street View - would like more control over when "ground/street view" becomes active.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using a SpaceNavigator to fly-down to and navigate around at street-level works 
well.
And the auto-switching from 'normal view' to 'streetview/building' mode works 
okay.

However the height that the ground-view kicks in is a little bit eager 
especially when using the "StreetView" imagery.

There's a lot of distortion of the 3D Streetview pano "bubble" until the viewer 
get's down to the sweet spot.

Being able to control the 'diameter' for when the StreetView bubble comes into 
view would be nice.

Same problem for when leaving the StreetView bubble, seems it's only switches 
off when you leave the full diameter of the bubble. At which point the imagery 
is pretty much nonsensical.

Happy to provide images/videos of this happening.

Cheers, Andrew.

It's really not just the "height" from the cente of the bubble, it's the 
distance from the bubble center.

eg. flyto the golden gate bridge, go into StreetView, and then start moving 
horizontally off the bridge. It takes too long for the bubble to disappear and 
the normal view to return.
