2.5D buildings in Google Maps

2.5d mapsHonestly, it's starting to feel like there's a new feature in Google Maps every day. Well, here's the latest.

Back in February, Google added building outlines to maps for selected cities. This week they've made those outlines a little more Google Earth-like, with the addition of 3D building outlines.

They're not completely three dimensional, in that you can't view them from multiple angles. But they're still pretty cool if you're you're looking for landmarks or just want to know what the world would look like if you were a color-blind bird.
