We are living in a generation where technology is bringing comfort in our lives in all the way possible. Whether it is a new product we want or to look for some new hotels or restaurants nearby everything is now just a tap away. Google Maps is a revolutionary product that is making every person depend on it far more than any other product.
Earlier days it was pretty difficult for visitors to look for new restaurants and places around with paper maps and the majority of them would eventually end up getting lost somewhere but not anymore. Google Maps not just helps people find their destinations but is also very easy to use for any age group and that’s what makes it so much special.
Although the local recommendation feature is still in the development phase but recently the Android app of Google maps rolled out its new way to control 3D building effects. Under the search field in the Google Maps Android app, there’s a new 3D icon under the ‘Map details’ Even when a user will look at a flat surface, this new feature will provide a 3D view with a sense of depth and shadow. This new 3D control feature is currently rolled out for only Android users of Google Maps and not yet available on iOS.
