Google Maps is rolling out its 3D buildings feature for drivers on Android, providing a more lifelike navigation experience in unfamiliar cities. The feature, previously available as a layer, is now integrated into navigation mode, offering users a more realistic view of their surroundings. To enable this feature, users can access their Google profile within the app, navigate to settings, and toggle on "Show 3D buildings." Additionally, the feature now syncs with Android Auto, eliminating the need for separate adjustments on in-car displays.
Google Maps has added a "show 3D buildings" option for navigation in its latest update, providing basic 3D geometry of buildings while navigating. This visual tweak follows a series of recent additions to the app, including weather and air quality display, AI-related upgrades, and real-time battery info for electric vehicles.
The latest Google Maps update for Android now syncs the toggle for 3D buildings during navigation between the phone and Android Auto, allowing the setting to be controlled across devices. This update, currently in beta, ensures that the option to show 3D buildings on Maps will stop displaying on Android Auto if the toggle is switched off on the Android app, mirroring the functionality on iOS. However, the change only applies during startup and not while actively using Android Auto, with the full rollout expected in a few weeks.
Google Maps is now widely rolling out 3D buildings in Android Auto, with the feature enabled by default. Users can turn off 3D buildings by toggling the setting in Google Maps. The appearance of 3D buildings is dependent on the light or dark mode of Android Auto, and the feature is also rolling out to Google Maps on Android Automotive. Additionally, Google Maps has tweaked the buttons that appear when arriving at a location.
