how do you get to the 3d view?

I know live maps has one. but its really only available in big cities. I know some nasty urban rails....like 52 kinks but they are in the middle of no where.

interesting concept. but the best stuff will always be found where you least expect to look. you wont find  good urban if your specifically looking for it in my opinion, you'll just see it.

I thought you meant the crappy old 3D from google earth, where it just shows rough shapes for buildings. This is so much sicker. Great thread too.

You can't get it in all places, but if you can, when you click on the location you will have the option for "Street View."
