You mean something like this one made with (screen capture) .jpgs from Google Earth? Regards, Smooth
nope. services like the one google is offering is used by many agencies including security agencies. where they have all buildings in 3d and view way more details than the link of yours showed.
for example I've seen in one presentation where a security agency planned a secure rout for someone, and they were able to decide where to put snipers by simple clicking on roof tops and then rotating the cameras from there to see what is their field of view and whether there are obstacles like other buildings or trees.
so my wish is to be able one day to use VT to navigate through those pre-specified points on the map itself (with 3d buildings and all) through the gui of the map it self (where we can still use all the features that the map makers offer (like distance measurements).
