The Mountain View-based company revealed a brand new 3D mapping feature for Google Earth, which utilizes imagery captured by special airplanes equipped with Street View-like 3D cameras to create a virtual fly over of select locations. The feature, which will be completed in metro-areas first, allows users to circle around locations, rendering everything in 3D.
