Google to Map San Francisco in 3D

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday June 9, 2005 @12:00AM from the topographical-internet dept.

mtz206 writes "SiliconValleyWatcher reports that "Google plans to use trucks equipped with lasers and digital photographic equipment to create a realistic 3D online version of San Francisco, and eventually other major US cities. The move would trump Amazon's A9 service, which offers two-dimensional photos of buildings on US city streets.""
