Are you ready to take your map exploration to the next level? With Google Maps, you can view 3D maps and experience the world in a whole new dimension. Here’s how you can easily access and view 3D maps in Google Maps:

1. Open Google Maps: Launch the Google Maps app on your mobile device or visit the Google Maps website on your desktop browser.

2. Search for a Location: Use the search bar to look for a specific location or simply navigate to the area you want to explore in 3D.

3. Choose Satellite View: Once you have found the location you want to view in 3D, tap on the map layers button in the top-right corner (it looks like a stack of squares). Then, select 'Satellite' from the list of map options.

4. Enable 3D Mode: After switching to the satellite view, you can then tilt and rotate the map to view it in 3D. On the mobile app, use two fingers to pinch and zoom on the map while tilting your device to adjust the perspective. On the desktop browser, you can use the mouse scroll wheel to tilt and rotate the map to see it in 3D.

5. Explore 3D Buildings and Landscapes: Once you are in 3D mode, you can explore the terrain, buildings, and landscapes with a more realistic depth and perspective. Fly around the landmarks and get a better sense of their surroundings.

6. Navigate in 3D: If you want to navigate through the 3D map, simply use standard map navigation gestures. Drag your fingers on the map to move around, pinch to zoom in and out, and use two fingers to rotate the map for a better view.

7. Save 3D Views: If you come across a particularly stunning 3D view that you want to save or share, you can take a screenshot of the map and save it to your device or share it with your friends and family.

By following these simple steps, you can easily access and explore the world in 3D using Google Maps. Whether you are planning a trip, exploring a new city, or simply admiring the world’s landmarks, the 3D maps feature adds a whole new dimension to your map exploration experience.
