Apple 2D & 3D Satellite Maps Flyover gave Apple's new iOS Maps a compelling to the Google Street View feature it was missing (the replication of which would be both a difficultly complicated and expensively inefficient task for Apple to attempt). It also helped to make up for Apple Maps' other shortcomings, including having far fewer and often less sophisticated 3D building models (visible above in the Time Warner Center building, opposite Central Park in New York City; the latest Google Maps for iOS don't actually show the building in favor of instead presenting an, another feature Apple doesn't match). Apple Flyover vs Google Earth Details in Flyover (above left) appear less sharply distinct in this screen shot, but in actual use it is far easier to position and read than Google Earth, and consumes a lot less memory. Google Earth frequently complains of running out of memory in actual use, and is both plodding and laggy. The technology behind Apple's high performance photorealistic, interactive 3D Flyover map images originated at C3 Technologies, which Apple in late 2011. Nokia 3D Maps via C3 C3 had demonstrated its technology at CES 2011 (shown in the video below), eliciting the description of it being a 'Google Maps on steroids.'
Shortly afterward in April 2011, Nokia released a preview of its work in with C3 to develop 3D Maps imagery for its web-based Ovi Maps, now branded as. Nokia stated at that time that C3's 3D mapping 'uses modern camera equipment to capture as many as one image per second of the same object from up to 100 different angles. The images are then used to automatically reproduce the shape of the objects with very high accuracy. After that, an image processing software automatically drapes each shape with the texture chosen from the pictures of each object. 'The same process is being applied for all objects buildings, houses, trees, and hills the result is a seamless canvas of 3D-data where the resolution (8 to 12 centimeters per pixel) and quality is consistent over the entire model.

This is the secret to C3 maps realistic look compared to competitors hand-made and cartoonish appearance.' Nokia said C3 had finished mapping parts of 20 different major cities in Europe and North America, promising more to come.
However, Apple's acquisition of C3 has left Nokia with 3D imagery limited to just, including parts of New York City (below).
Great to see Ovi Maps not just being tied to Windows. This screenshot is from Safari on Mac OS Leopard. The installation is a 6MB download and goes without a hitch, apart from the need to quit Safari (and lose any open tabs) at one point, plus you have to manually 'eject' the package installer. And here's the proof that it's all working.
The speed of map-dragging is quite impressive, even on my humble Mac Mini. Note the weather conditions in the title bar for the current map.
And, of course, I've got those oh-so-sexy 3D models in view 8-) With a route planned - waypoints are added by right clicking on spots on the map, and you can have as many as you like. Planning is near instantaneous for a simple A-B route, I was sitting there waiting to see a 'Calc' button and realised that the route had appeared before I'd even started scanning the screen properly.
