Fly through Tokyo and more with new 3D imagery in Google Maps

Have you ever dreamed of skydiving over Tokyo without having to jump out of a plane? With new 3D imagery on Google Maps and Google Earth, you can now virtually glide above Tokyo, Chiba, Sendai and Kanagawa, experiencing immersive and realistic views of these areas right from your desktop or mobile device. You can access the new 3D imagery through Earth View in Google Maps, Google Earth, and Google Earth for mobile.

Previously, people from around the world could view these prefectures through satellite and aerial photos on Google Maps and Google Earth, as well as through Street View. This new imagery adds fully 3D digital views of major landmarks, such as the Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Sky Tree, as well as surrounding buildings, topographies, and parks.

  9. Google+ is the worst idea for a long time. Censorship is another.
