3d is only in some cities. L.a. for example. Though I can't figure out how to rotate or change the angle.

@nolook: Check out Toronto for some 3D action, it's there.

@thunderpossuem: to change the angle place two fingers side by side on the screen and wipe down, repeat the same while wiping up to return to an overhead view.

I can't seem to rotate though which is a shame, still a great update.

Try as I might, I just can't make it work. Not that it really worries me. We don't have any of that 3d business over in Brisbane

your right toronto has 3d buildings...very cool...compass feature/offline browsing are also extremely useful features...

maybe rotate will be added or maybe the legend doesnt have that type of multitouch...

Rotate does work on the legend. tap on the "center on my location" button, and tap once more, the burton will change into a compass. There are two modes. One of them will rotate the map when you rotate your phone.

i knew about this compass mode - can you rotate any other way?

what i meant is rotating like in the google map video...kind of a pinch rotate 'gesture'

Not quite the same thing as actually rotating it with your fingers, now is it? :p
So no, from the point of multitouch, rotate isn't working.

I can get the 3D buildings in the applicable cities, but I can't change the angle while wiping down with two fingers. I didn't think that changing the angle was supported for the Legend. Is it actually working for you?

yes i can change the angle but it seems to have a limited range of motion...

I don't have change angle and I don't have the compass mode. It only centers on my location and thats it. I'm on Cyanogen mod maybe thats why.

Hi guyz, Do these features work only on froyo? My legend is still on 2.1 (as froyo update in not released here in Aus). I didn't find anything new in google maps 5. No 3d views of any cities, no tilt/rotate, no compass mode. Same old tiled-maps :(.

In UK looks like Cardiff, Birmingham & Leeds have 3d features.
In Brum I can see city centre in 3d, tilt & rotate with compass all very smoothly.

Very Nice!
