Default Google street view

Hello everybody,
I've got a, new to me, 2015 A8 4.0T, great car so far. It is a little bit different than my S8, I would say more on the comfort side than sport. Audi sent me a sim card and I definitely like the Google maps but for some reason there is no way that I can see the street view of the maps, tried everything , no success, so far. Is there anything that I'm missing ?
Thanks !

You only see it nearing a destination AFAIK, and typically it is what is across the street, not the address itself. I don't get why they think across the street view is a good idea, but it is what it is. To be clear, it is just a static view in a small picture on the main Nav screen, and nothing like moving down a street using the web version on a laptop or otherwise. But if you have an S8 like me you presumably have seen it before. Have you looked at Settings/Instrument Cluster/Street View to be sure you have it set for that? Don't know why it says inst. cluster there. Maybe I haven't mastered it either. Here is page from 2015 MMI manual.
