Berlin and Stuttgart are now in 3D

Google released quite a few 3D buildings yesterday. Not only did they publish my house (and presumably hundreds of other user-generated models), but they released two more full cities in 3D -- Berlin and Stuttgart.

As with their other recent 3D cities, these are very impressive with many thousands of models in each city.

Here is a video overview of the new buildings:

Good articles and man oh man are these 3d buildings getting better or what! Maybe someday interiors will be done!!!!

Too be honest with you I dreally don't know what your intentions with this blog are since I found it in the winter time.

It actually is depressing and frustrating there is no central place to talk about Google maps/earth (or anythign related)
where 100s of users can post on their findings/hacks.etc

If we had the old fashioned bulletin boards peopel would be able to see what you type live.

My words above would appear to you as I type them and you will see how many times I hit the backspace key to correct an error. *which is only a few*

YOu seem to be posting despite not much of a converstation going on and all your polices allow anything BUT a decent conversation going on.


It actually is sad there is no central place to talk about Google maps/earth whatever.

Kyle -- There are a few good places just to hang out and talk about Google Earth:

I'm sure there are others, but those are a few good ones to start with.

Thanks sir! :) However I am still not sure what your intentios for this blog are because you seem to use tactics that limit conversations.

I think a lot of people don't post on here that would otherwise because they don't want to wait for God knows how long for a post to appear just to ask each other questions.

But this is your blog and perhaps you aren't one to like long conversations.

I am sorry for my long posts then.

Bye.

Kyle -- When Frank left on his trip, the policy on the site was to only post pre-moderated comments. I get them posted as quickly as I can, but at times it can take a few hours.

I'm considering switching it around (allow all comments and then go back and clean out the junk), but I'm still undecided. We get a lot of junk that I filter out, so it might not be worth doing. We'll see...
