Some company that makes fancy fashion symbol cellular telephones made news this week for finally releasing its own mapping software, only 16 years after Mapquest first came out. People get excited about anything Apple does, but black-turtleneck brigade has nothing on Google’s Directions in 3D feature.
I know that sounds boring, but the name “Directions in 3D” doesn’t do it justice. Have you ever viewed the Tour de France and watched in awe as they show you those epic, swooping helicopter shots of the race course? It’s like that.
