I thought that google maps give you the 3d view of the map AND gives you 3d vies of buildings or what not. i dont see any buildings when im in google maps, what gives? :O
Only a few places have been given the 3D treatment so far. Glasgow next please Google.

If you want to see the 3D buildings, then search up the Empire State Building in maps.

I was looking for such a feature on the web. Found some interesting pages dating from 2006/2007 where's stated that google maps implemented it. Mainly in the US for major highways. Ok, it's a start...
But now, it's 2008 and my google maps mobile doesn't have that feature. At least, not in the Netherlands. Is there a programme that actually has that feature and works worldwide? (or at least in europe?)
It would be kickass, since my Cruise has built-in GPS, so I could easily avoid traffic congestions with google maps.
Have you tried this?

i use traffic edge

I user Microsoft Live Search on my AT&T 8525.

I can't see if Yahoo supports the Netherlands, but traffic edge doesn't. And Microsoft Live search, isn't that just the search engine?
I know that Google maps has these "Plug-ins" that you can lay over the maps. Like, POI's in TomTom, this can show traffic congestions. So if these files could be updated and added to Google Maps, it should work.
I hope someday this would be realised.

What's the best app for finding and navigating hiking trails?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Search the market for everytrail. A lot of trails posted but of course could always depend on your area. Its pretty nice because it can just pull your location and show the nearest hikes to you.

You might also look into mapping programs that will let you load arbitrary maps into the phone, such as scanned trail maps or topo maps. None of the options are particularly quick to set up, as you'll have to get maps into them.
If OSM has good enough maps, you could use something that'll cache offline maps of it. Often there are decent trail maps there, although I honestly don't see how people have the time to create them given the tools OSM gives.... Anywho.
Backcountry Navigator, Maverick and Orux are a few I found googling.
BackCountry Navigator is damn nice, I've been playing with it all day.. You can pre-cache maps from a bunch of different sources and it has a specific offline mode to use the maps later, all very easy to do. I have a question out to them about calibrating and importing a custom map, something that I'm not seeing in the program but maybe I'm overlooking it.. Like there's an area where I mountain bike and the topo maps are REALLY hard to read the trails as they seem to blend right in with the contour lines, but I have several great high level trail maps that I'd love to be able to use.
OruxMaps is the most useful up to date. The essential feature is offline navigation, i.e. maps can be seen when there is no cell tower in sight. It is essential in the mountains (too high) in the forest (too far) and in high sea. Additionally one can switch the cell receiver completely off that gives more juice to GPS and actual navigation without recharge.
The tracks can be uploaded to pop track sites including google maps. The only deficiencies I know of: UI requires some learning, stats charts can't be exported (particularly important for high profiles)

Hmmm but Google maps nd places app can also do that.. and they search almost everything easily and quickly... So what's the point installing a third party app?? when default app can do that..
Google Maps will not allow me to download a large enough area to be useful. It's something like 10 miles across. In places like southern Oregon, your nearest neighbor may be more than 10 miles away, and cell towers are often nonexistent.
How can I download a larger map area under Android?
I'm currently frustrated because under iOS, xGPS allowed me to easily download any size area I wanted from Google Maps. I could even use my desktop to download and transfer the map to my phone via WiFi.
Is there any option to do this under Android? What about another mapping platform?
Note, I don't need offline routing or anything. Just a clear, high resolution map, preferably with terrain features, and a GPS dot for where I am.

Check Maps With Me app
IF I HELPED YOU PRESS THE THANKS BYTTON
I've downloaded maps with me. It looks good for some things. Will be testing it out more on my weekend trip through southern Oregon.
Any thoughts on topo maps to go? That was another feature I really liked about xGPS but can't seem to replicate.
Google maps is pretty useless except for getting the most direct route
