Nokia Brings Photorealistic 3D Models Of 20 Entire Cities To Ovi Maps

Users of Google Maps and Bing Maps have enjoyed 3D imagery for a while now, and Nokia is now catching up with the launch of (admittedly very nice-looking) photorealistic 3D models of 20 metropolitan areas from across the globe.

On Maps.ovi.com/3d, you can now explore places in 3D in major cities like London, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Milan, New York, San Francisco and, of course, Helsinki.

The feature is free on Ovi Maps and will be formally introduced later today at the Where 2.0 conference in California. → Read More
