Google Maps 5.0 for android ( 3d in the hood )



google lunched yesterday the new version of google maps for android google maps 5.0 with two new features 3d maps and offline map , google rebuild maps with vector images to achieve maximum performance  and visual quality for maps now you can zoom as you can and it will never pixlate or shows bad quality and with more and more speed and awesome performance for mobile phone   and enhance the images with 3d visual support display entirely new levels of detail that weren’t possible with flat image tiles. 


For example, in the 100+ cities where we have 3D building data, each building is drawn in 3D using a polygonal building footprint and heights for different parts of the building.
and one of the awesome new features of new google maps 5.0 is you can continue viewing maps and navigation with poor or no connectivity , yes semi complete offline maps now in your phone because it cashes the map data and the vector images requires more than 100 times less data to view maps across all zoom levels than before.


These new features are just the first steps in maximizing dynamic map drawing technology to create a faster, more interactive experience.
if you like it you can go and update your maps from android market now and enjoy the new features of the new generation of google maps
