3D buildings in Google Maps for Android arise in Johannesburg, Cape Town and more

Posted on 06:45 by Unknown
En Français

Last December, the release of Google Maps 5.0 for Android ushered in the next-generation of mobile maps where you rotate, tilt, and zoom in and out of 3D maps. Earlier this week we added support for 3D buildings in a number of South African cities, including Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. Now, when you're zoomed in on these cities in Google Maps for Android, you can drag down with two fingers to tilt the map and see a skyline spring to life with 3D buildings.


Here’s the full list of South African cities that now have 3D buildings:
  • Bloemfontein
  • Cape Town
  • Durban
  • Johannesburg
  • Nelspruit
  • Polokwane
  • Port Elizabeth
  • Pretoria
  • Rustenburg
You'll also now see 3D buildings on Google Maps on the desktop for these cities. We hope you enjoy exploring them even more with 3D buildings!

Bâtiments en 3D sur Google Maps pour le lancement d’Android à Johannesburg, Le Cap, etc.

En décembre dernier, le lancement de Google Maps 5.0 pour Android a coïncidé avec la nouvelle génération de cartes sur mobiles, que vous pouvez faire pivoter, incliner, agrandir ou réduire, sur des cartes 3D. Au début de la semaine, nous avons intégré le support des bâtiments intégré le support des bâtiments en 3D pour plusieurs villes sud-africaines, dont Johannesburg, Le Cap et Durban. Désormais, lorsque vous zoomez sur ces villes dans Google Maps pour Android, vous pouvez tirer vers le bas avec deux doigts pour incliner la carte et voir l’horizon prendre vie avec des bâtiments en 3D.

Voici la liste complète des villes sud-africaines dotées de cartes en 3D:
  • Bloemfontein
  • Le Cap
  • Durban
  • Johannesburg
  • Nelspruit
  • Polokwane
  • Port Elizabeth
  • Pretoria
  • Rustenburg
Vous avez aussi désormais accès à des bâtiments en 3D sur Google Maps sur le bureau pour ces villes. Nous espérons que vous apprécierez encore plus d’explorer ces villes avec leurs bâtiments en 3D!
