Google creating 3D cities

By William Bakker | 06.09.05 | Comment?

Not to be outdone by A9’s Blockview, Google is reported to be working on something even better. They’re indexing cities in 3D for the purpose of intergrading it with their local search feature. I thought the satellite images in Google maps were pretty cool but this is getting out of hand. Speaking of Google maps. My friend Nigel moved his trampoline from one end of his backyard to another and is waiting for Google to call him to ask if he can move it back. nigel_trampoline.jpg

Update:Turns out an Israeli company has been doing this already for Philidelphia. The NY Times has an article about it. (via Boing Boing)
