Google launches helicopter view in Google Maps

Google added a new feature this week that offers a 3-dimensional view of that route.


You take Benefit from this new feature than simply plug in a start point and a end point to the directions section of Google Maps.Calculate the route  look for a “3D” button next to the text “Driving directions”. After pressing the new “3D” button, the map shifts into Google Earth view and begins navigating the route.

 Simulation of the route can be paused at any time and users can rotate the map exploring the terrain of the surrounding area.This concept is similar to the Soarin’ Over California attraction at Disneyland’s California Adventure, a theme park ride that lifts people into the air and simulates a flight over scenic portions of California.

Google Maps helped the man in question burglarize nine suburban homes and steal $100,000 worth of jewelry and electronics.

3D simulation of the route can be paused at any time and users can rotate the map exploring the terrain of the surrounding area.

Users can view each leg of the trip by watching the highlighted section within the directions on the left side of the screen after resuming the simulated flight.

Now users can also jump to other sections of the trip by clicking on a specific section within the directions. 

Google Maps recently received a bit of negative attention when criminals in Chicago used the service to satellite view to seek out expensive homes next to highways.
