Building outlines now appearing in most world cities

A new feature to support your walking around in the area, at least you should know whether to expect low buildings, skyscrapers, or some cool architecture!

Since early 2007, Google Maps has made maps more lifelike by showing 3D building outlines when zoomed into cities.
Then the release of Google Maps 5.0 for Android ushered in the next-generation of mobile maps where you can rotate, tilt, and zoom in and out of 3D maps on a mobile device.

3D buildings are available in different world cities as London, Paris, Barcelona, Stockholm, Singapore and Lisbon.

These buildings will appear in both Google Maps and Google Maps for mobile.

  1. Do you know if there's any planning to implement this for US cities?
    In any case, thanks for adding this.
