The Next Dimension of Google Maps

We’ve seen a number of improvements on Google Maps over the years, including the remarkable turn-by-turn navigation that can be found on Android and the addition of the indoor floor plans that allow users to see the entire layout of a mapped building. Then there is also Street View and Google Earth. We can expect another enhancement to Google Maps to be unveiled to us really soon, as Google is getting ready to release “the next dimension” on June 6, 2012. That’s only 2 days away from now and we can only imagine what they have to offer.

Supposedly, it’s expected that 3D maps will finally go live, and is made to help people get where they want to go both physically and virtually. Not much else has been revealed and so we’ll just have to wait until they give the official announcement.
