Google Maps Adds Building Projections & Sub Stops
Google Maps now shows nifty dimetric projections of city buildings when you zoom in to the highest two zoom levels. This data is obviously based on the 3D buildings that are available in Google Earth. Furthermore, in New York City (and perhaps other metro areas too?) they’ve added markers for subway (both MTA and PATH) stops.
Check it out these maps of Union Square, New York City and Portland, OR for examples.
It’s great to see Google continuing to develop this tool.
Update (2/20/07): I beat Kottke to the punch but he confirms that stops for the T in Boston and the L in Chicago are also featured on the maps.
PS: Wow, 200th post! Yay for blogging!
