Recently, Google has already made a preliminary review of three-dimensional maps, but now users iOS-devices can "fly" over populated areas, using the latest version of Google Earth. The program allows us to consider the three-dimensional format, while a few large cities, including Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, Geneva and Rome.
By the end of the year the number of cities that will be available in 3D-mode, will increase significantly. In the near future, Google plans to cover the 3D-maps of the area with a population of 300 million inhabitants. As a result, this view will be made available to virtually anywhere in the world.
To implement the three-dimensional images of urban landscapes in Google uses a special technology that creates a depth of two-dimensional images taken from airplanes. The company said that working on this technology for several years but only now they were able to achieve acceptable quality.
It should be noted that the conference WWDC 2012 the company Apple introduced its own mapping application, which also has a three-dimensional mode and will replace the Google maps with the release of the operating system iOS 6 . The new application will be available three-dimensional maps of several types: a three-dimensional like the house from Google Maps, another Flyover - allows you to see a detailed three-dimensional model of the city.
Enable 3D-mode in Google Earth 7.0 users can iPhone 4S and the iPad, and iPad 2 3. The application is available for free download at the link below.
