How to Access the 3D Version of Google Maps
Google Maps offers a 3D view feature that allows users to explore cities and landmarks in three dimensions, providing a more immersive experience. To access the 3D view, follow these steps:
- Open Google Maps: Visit https://maps.google.com on your desktop browser or open the Google Maps app on your mobile device.
- Find a Location: Enter the name of a city, landmark, or address in the search bar and select it from the suggestions.
- Switch to Satellite View: Click on the layers button (usually a square icon with a stack) on the lower left corner on desktop, then select "Satellite". On mobile, tap the layers icon and choose "Satellite".
- Activate 3D View: On desktop, click and hold the "3D" toggle or the "Earth" view option if available. You can also enable the 'Globe view' for a more realistic perspective. On mobile, tap and hold on the map with two fingers to tilt and rotate the view, enabling a pseudo-3D experience.
- Adjust the View: Use your mouse or fingers to tilt (drag up/down) and rotate (drag left/right) to see the terrain and buildings in 3D.
Note: The availability of 3D imagery depends on the location, as some areas may not have detailed 3D data. For the best experience, ensure your device and browser are updated.
