New 3D maps

3D mapping is new to Apple's improved, and now proprietary, Maps app. Sailing over the streets and buildings is fun, at least during my trial week, and the facades below reminded me of a real-life SimCity video game. Google Street View is gone, though, now that Apple divorced itself from Google's mapping service. I won't lie, it will be missed for smaller cities, since flyovers only take place in urban centers.
