"Finally, do not forget that a reflection could be your enemy."
On a tangent - I didn't realize that the google maps 3D rendering has gotten so good over the last couple of years. I wonder how hard it would be to scrape the point data and satellite textures to source a GTA map, I'd love to cruise through actual Vice City with the GTA V engine.
If you haven't checked it out yourselves - breath-taking WebGL view of Miami (Chrome, OSX):

- lookingsideways 12y agoIf you're on OSX, try it out in Apple Maps, I find their 3D views superior to Google's and it's been available in more locations that I've looked at. On the iPad you also get more control over viewing angles, I was surprised that you lose that on the desktop.
