An optional integrated link field for SV
An optional integrated link field for SV if you post a BEV-map.
So you don't have to post the SV link in the comments.
Maybe beteween the description and location info.
Like:
Description: lorem ipsum
Street view: available (<- link to SV)
Location: lorem ipsum
---
If you post a SV-map it could be the same with BEV12 votes -
A new (clear) layout
Refreshing the layout would be a good idea.
I think a new clean fresh layout would push the site.
Something like: http://wefunction.com/services ; http://www.vitsoe.com/en/gb/architects/introduction ; http://www.theswishlife.com/11 votes -

More categories.
More categories or more specific categories in the category tree. Example: if I want to see only sngle engine planes. There are plenty of great maps on the site, but making them more easily found would help. Some of the categories seem to general for the vast amount of maps in them. The street view "Vehicle - cars and trucks" has many, but I only want sports cars, for example. Or even the animal category, maybe only cats. I'm sure they can all be found but the tree you have is nice and I believe it should be expanded.

If money for spending on prizes wouldn't be an issue, I'd really enjoy more contests. They're very fun, challenging, and rewarding.

Add a search field to the Bing viewer
Since Bing's latest change, the only URLs that work correctly are those generated by the Bing Maps VGT internal viewer. A search field would make it easier to find specific locations or addresses.
