It's really awesome :) |
Could you post a screenshot of Windows Live Maps, that service somehow doesn´t work to me. |
hey they also have a new button that is "traffic" – I have not seen that before ..hope they roll this out for mymaps..!! |
The button traffic appears only when you are on an area covered by traffics datas ;-) Since February |

Garett Rogers called it "bordering on unusable", so don't even try. :) (Really slow for me, btw)

BTW, in Tokyo, 3D-Buildings are colored! |
Do you have a link and screenshot Tom? Can't seem to reproduce it here... |
This is pretty sweet. Other US cities that have this feature are:
Chicago, IL
San Francisco, CA
Denver, CO
Seattle, WA
Boston, MA |
Buildings in Tokyo have been 2.5D for a while. There are a couple of differences though:
- some of them are colored (cfr. supra): e.g. hotels are green
- there's no shine-through
- less details (just contours and blocks) see e.g. Docomo Tower on http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.684392,139.703267&z=20 and compare it with the satellite image. |

Ogle Earth have counted 38 US cities. |
That is quite beautiful and useful. |

switch to Satellite and look at the bottom left corner
Do you see the two tall buildings seeming to "get attarcted towards each other" :-o
Its an old issue, but I thought Google would´ve fixed it by now!
