- Geee 14y agoYes, indeed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6Douyfa7l8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6Douyfa7l8 This is new development though and only on the Google Earth product for mobile, not in the maps app. Maps app for Android has those blocky untextured 3d buildings in select areas.
- KirinDave 14y agoThey actually have textures if you enable satellite imaging. They just also do the Mirror's Edge rendering of the city. It's interesting how Google does it. They both contract and scan data in, but they also let you use SketchUp to submit data as well.
- treeface 14y agoGoogle has had 3D buildings for years. That video is only the latest in a long series of improvements on this feature. The level of detail in that video far exceeds what others are doing, but it's still rolling out throughout this year.
- jonknee 14y agoGoogle certainly has 3D view. It's on my iPad with Google Earth. They also have the more useful non-textured 3D maps in Google Maps for Android which is a lot more smooth (way less data transfer and being vector it's scalable) and you can even use them offline. http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/3d/ http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/3d/
