Fly Over On iOS Maps vs 3D Buildings On Google Earth

2012-10-04
hey guys they be here from what calm and in this video meeting a comparison between the flyover feature on iOS maps and the 3d buildings on Google Earth basically I want to see you know what differences between the two I have a map of Las Vegas loaded up on both devices here and we'll be taking a 3d look at the pelagic building so we'll go ahead and zoom in on both phones here so zoom in here zoom in here and at first glance in love my first impression is that the 3d building here on iOS maps looks a little bit more realistic than it does on Google Earth I feel like the 3d builds in Google Earth a little bit more cartoonish I'll go I didn't zoom in a little more so you guys could actually see what I'm talking about so zoom in that close here and like that over here so bring it up close to the camera so basically you can see you know you see more of the detail on the iOS maps and it just looks more realistic you know you get pretty much a cartoon looking you know 3d building on Google Earth here I mean the detail is great you know I'm not complaining about that but it definitely does look more realistic on iOS maps go ahead and take a look at something else we'll take a look at the we'll do we'll do the water over here so let me just zoom in on the water all right there you go so you can see the water here is just pretty much you know a blur of blue nothing much there you know not a lot of detail we'll do the same thing on iOS Maps and you know still a blur of blue but the only difference here is that you know we see some sparkles in the water the reflection of the sky so it does definitely look a little bit more realistic again that seems to be the theme so far we'll go ahead and zoom out now one thing Google Earth has that iOS Maps is not you know when you're looking at this 3d you know Bellagio building you actually see the water show on Google Earth I mean at least a freeze in time of the water show so you can actually see the water you know what it would look like if you're actually to look at it so pretty cool little feature there you know you look at i/o s maps and it's off there's nothing there so that's a cool little feature we'll take a look at the little restaurant here it's called the Jasmine restaurant I think it's a restaurant I'm not sure but well look at it first on the iOS maps on the iPhone you can see you know it does look realistic once again do it three look at it you see the trees surrounding it and I mean looks pretty good we'll go ahead and look at the other side and this is as close as I could get I can't get any closer so we'll go ahead and try the same thing on Google Earth and 3d buildings so zoom in and you know right away you can tell I'm getting a lot closer to what I'm trying to get at then I was on iOS maps and you know you clearly see the Jasmine sign right there you know it is a little more cartoony but because we're able to get closer I'm able to take a better look at it you can see the trees aren't here on this side but the trees look a little bit different well you know the trees that are there so you actually see it's like kind of like a 3d tree here obviously it's not completely rounded they're just like little edges you know these little like little basically branches coming out of the tree not necessarily a full tree we're on iOS maps looks a little bit different see if I can take a look at a tree so you get more of the you know the full tree but then again you're not able to look at as closely and if you zoom out from here you can't really tell that there are little twigs basically so that is that let's go ahead and turn around and look at the trees over here so all right so we see the street over here see the trees again see how they look they're like kind of almost like morphed into like one piece instead of showing individual branches there and then we'll take a look at this little Highfill tower in Paris and 3 look at this guy so details really good again it does look you know pretty realistic here we'll do the same thing on Google Earth so I'll turn this guy around take a look at the trees really quick so you see there's more trees on Google Earth you know seems like there's a little bit more detail when it comes to the trip itself and then we'll take a look at the Eiffel Tower again and this one looks pretty much the same as it did on iOS maps I'd say it's a little bit more realistic on iOS Maps than over here but not too big of difference as it was you know on the Bellagio building itself so yeah I mean that's pretty much it I mean that's the difference I've seen so far between iOS Maps and Google Earth basically I'd have to say Google Earth maybe is a little bit more detail as far as you know all the things you can see but it looks a little bit more realistic on iOS maps so that's pretty much the difference you know they're both great I don't know which one I prefer you know sometimes I prefer the iOS Maps one because it looks a little bit you know more realistic so it's pretty cool to look at it that way of course you know we have Street View here on you know Android wear iOS maps doesn't have that yet or I don't think it ever will but anyways that's pretty much it for me and this video I just wanted to show you guys the difference you know I know a lot of you guys were wondering you know what is flyover any different from 3d buildings but that's pretty much it for me in this video if you found it helpful please hit the like button and subscribe to their channel if you haven't already thank you
