Google Maps Tests 3D Buildings Feature for Navigation

The new feature, currently in testing, displays 3D buildings during navigation on Android Auto and the mobile app, providing additional visual markers for users.

  • Google Maps is testing a new feature that displays 3D buildings during navigation on both Android Auto and the mobile app.
  • The 3D buildings feature is not yet available to all users and it's unclear when it will be rolled out more widely.
  • To see the 3D buildings, users must enable the 3D view in the app's 'Map details' section and be zoomed in on the map.
  • The feature appears to be most useful in cities or highly built-up areas, providing additional visual markers for navigation.
  • Some users have reported seeing the feature on Android Auto and CarPlay in certain regions.
