Ovi Maps 3D

datadyne007 · 06-03-2011, 04:31 PM

STUNNING 3D map that runs right in your browser. Buildings are all scaled properly and facades are nearly flawless. It's as if you're in a helicopter above Boston (and various other metro-areas of cities). Use the "select a city" in the bottom corner to explore major cities of the world and see landmarks.

Their data and models are WAY more accurate than the BRA's.

The required plugin is not compatible with my version of FireFox but I'm afraid to upgrade to FF4. I hear the FF3 versions are better...

Chrome or bust.

This is fricken awesome! Ugh, as if I wasn't already addicted to maps as it was!!!

BTW, can regular Ovi Maps be used like Google Maps? Like, can I make lines and polygons on it?

I just drove this on my nice rig at home (as opposed to my crap work computer) and I can't get over how much the views look like photographs. The captured the light like the sun is really there. There is a warm glow over certain angles and shadow over others. This is breathtaking.

Amazing. This puts Google to shame. Nice find, datadyne.
