Arr matey! Yon Google Maps app on Android and iOS be showin' buildings in grand 3D fer some scurvy dogs, a mighty fine improvement fer ye city drivers, I reckon!
Google Maps is set to become more helpful for drivers in big cities with the introduction of new graphics for 3D buildings. While 3D buildings have been available in the Google Maps app for some time, they have not been visible while in navigation mode. However, this is now changing, with some users reporting that they are seeing 3D buildings during navigation. This is a significant upgrade as it provides drivers with an additional visual marker to help them navigate their way through cities.To see the 3D buildings, users need to have the '3D' layer turned on in the app's 'Map details' section. The feature only appears when zoomed into the map in cities or highly built-up areas. It is particularly useful for driving through unfamiliar capitals. While the feature has not been seen on Android Auto or CarPlay yet, there are reports that it has been rolled out in some regions. Google has not made a global announcement about the rollout of this feature, but it is expected to be a useful addition to the Google Maps navigation experience once it becomes more widely available.
The inclusion of 3D buildings is not a drastic overhaul for Google Maps, but it is a handy upgrade for city driving. The building outlines are roughly to scale and transparent, so they do not obstruct navigation. Once the feature is more widely rolled out, it will join the list of many things that Google Maps can do.
In addition to the introduction of 3D buildings, Google Maps has also made other updates, such as making it easier to save favorite places. These updates continue to enhance the user experience and make Google Maps a popular choice for navigation.
