Google adds 3D to Maps

Imagine looking up directions to your favourite restaurant or museum in a city and your destination comes alive in Maps. Google's added 3D support to Street View in Google Maps, so you can look at your destination or really any place you'd look up in 3D without the need of a browser plug-in. The upgrade is called Google MapsGL, which uses Google's Web Graphics Library. Browsers that support MapsGL are Chrome 14+ and Firefox Beta. You will also need compatible video cards.
