Google Revealing “The Next Dimension†of Google Maps on June 6th
Google Maps has long been considered the gold standard for mapping services, despite the heavy competition from Bing and countless others. Between Street View, Google Earth, and the amazing turn-by-turn navigation found on Android, it’s hard to imagine the service getting any better. Obliviously Google would disagree with me however, and are getting ready to release “the next dimension†on June 6th at 12:30 PM ET.
Brian McCleendon, VP of Google Maps and Google Earth is rumored to be hosting the event, and will be demonstrating a ton of new features. Based on both the name, and the most obvious missing feature, it is expected 3D maps will finally go live. Interestingly enough, this is one area where Bing really shines. According to Google the new features “will help people get where they want to go â€" both physically and virtually".
Google’s last minute timing of the event is likely an attempt to get ahead of the press black hole that surrounds Apple during WWDC.
