Google Earth launches 3D buildings in South Africa

March 15, 2010 09:42 by Marc in World Cup 2010

The team from Google Earth have slowly started rolling out 3D buildings to South African cities ahead of the World Cup. So far they have rolled out to Pretoria, Bloemfontein & Port Elizabeth, as well as the Greenpoint Stadium in Cape Town.

3D Buildings are really cool, as they give you a whole different perspective on the city that you are looking at in Google Earth. Pretoria seems to be the most up to date, and I’m pretty sure that in the next couple of months we will start seeing a couple more important updates from Google, including the much anticipated Google Streetview

Here are a couple of the 3D Buildings in Google Earth from around the country:(click images for full size)
