To see the Buildings  wildman Take ur two finger at the same time on the screen an pull down also u need to zoom in a little:   And This seem to work only in big Metro Cities.

Also if u touch the little simbol in upper right corner its ur compass when u turn it'll turn As well on the X But make sure all Gps features R all clicked On.

I done a search on Kc it showed  the sprint center an others around it . Do a search on New York City Downtown Area.

[B33]

The site must be havin issues again wildmwan ur picture did'nt come on just the triangle symbol.

[B33]

Wildman when i did  a search again on Kc Sprint Center it didnt show the center till i clicked the on Satillite View an even if U pull down on it. It wont show a the side of the Building. Now before i hit sat View i was able to see the surrounding buldings using the 3D feature.

It is Cool isnt it. 

[Wildman]

Maybe that's the issue because Im in KC and they may not concider it enough to map the 3d for use.

[Wildman]

Checked New York and map is still 2d.... Its not major but I just wanted to give it a try but haven't had no luck with seeing the 3D maps... Oh well

[Wildman]

Gotta love it... its just a image of the 3d maps option from Android Central.

It seems to work for me.  Just checked the Amtrak station in KC and it shows as 3D.  However I am zoomed in almost all the way just to see it

The kudos buttons look okay to me.  Much better than a few days ago on the desktop view where the word Kudos looked like it was 75% or more erased for all other posters besides mine (since one can't kudo your own post, LOL) .  The mobile view was strange yesterday in that the red topic title bar was half white and half black. The up & new button were white.  the combo was hard to read.  Also the sub-forum selection were weird black and gray stripe bars.  Its all cleared up now.  However it does bring a question.  Are there any screenshot apps that don't require you to void your warranty first?  I also haven't gotten around to loading Android ADB (I think that's what it's called).

One other thing i Forgot Tooooo Mention Im Sorry To Spin the maps or to see another side of a Building Take Your Two Fingers put em on the Screen an Like making a Circle they'll Turn So U can see the other Side of the Building. And other Buildings. But i Still Cannot figure out how to find were u Change MPH to Km an Vice Versa.  Its a Head Scratcher .!

That did it, Idont know what I was doing but after accessing the area you reported I now have the 3d maps showing up...  Must been device Hickup

Thanks

Howdy Howdy Wildman Glad U got ur Maps Workin.  

[Wildman]

Thanks, Glad I figured it out also because it was confusing me, also I figured out that my issue was because of the area I was looking in because it appears that the map shows until you hit 23rd street of the city and the maps stop and it appears they only cover major traffic areas of the city..

Glad you got the maps to work, Wildman. The only reason I choose that location in Kansas City was I once got off the train there and knew where it was. It was a complete guess that the area might be in 3D. 😄
