Google Maps 3D is included with Google Maps 6.0 on Android-powered devices.
Google Maps In 3D
Some of the features included:
To see a skyline come to life, drag down with two fingers to tilt and zoom-in. This allows you to see buildings in 3D, in 100+ cities around the world.
Twist with two fingers to rotate your map and see it from any direction. This is a whole new way to see a map!
Google Maps With Compass Mode
First, on the map, locate yourself. Tap the compass button while centering on your location. The map changes into 3D and rotates to whichever direction you're facing.
Move two fingers apart or together. The labels and map zoom continuously with your fingers. This allows you to zoom to whatever level YOU choose.
Even if you lose your connection, no worries, maps that you use the most have been preloaded in the background so you can see and interact with them.
After beginning a route, even if you lose your connection, Google Maps Navigation automatically reroutes you!
Google Earth for mobile has a feature called the "Tour Guide" that will list attractions that you may be interested in seeing when you're in a particular area. Google Earth uses KML files. KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Maps for mobile, Google Maps, and Google Earth.

If Google Maps in 3D is something you're interested in getting, if you don't have it now, search for "Google Maps" in Google Play or visit this URL in your phone's browser: m.google.com/maps.
