Google Earth now in 3D

Google Earth is a wonderful tool. More and more people are using it for presentation, for advertising and even for promotion.

Now Google Earth is offering 3D views of buildings and bridges. This however is applicable only to major cities within the US; and only a few prominent buildings are rendered in great details such as the World Finance Centre, Jacob K.J. Federal Building etc.

The two images show the view at World Trade Centre in normal Google Earth view, while the other one show the superimposed 3D rendered buildings around the WTC.



I also found out that the Google Earth people had also rendered our Petronas Twin Towers quite beautifully in 3D!

The captured image in comparison with the one I captured while flying over the area here provide an interesting perspective!
