I love this map from National Geographic Magazine.

Check out New York. Now I have absolutely no excuse for being single. Damn.

Google Maps now in 2.5D

I guess I am 10 days slow on the uptake, but I didn’t notice that Google had added wireframes of tons of buildings to its maps. It appears that they added buildings a few months back but built them out about two weeks ago.

It’s certainly not the end goal, but its still kinda fun (and now that I think about it, knowing that your address is the third building in on a given street is actually quite useful - assuming the data points are accurate). Go Play.
