How To Make Google Maps 3D?

To make Google Maps 3D on a desktop, follow these steps:

1. Open your preferred web browser, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
2. Navigate to the official Google Maps website.
3. Locate the "Layers" icon at the bottom left of the map.
4. Click "More."
5. Select "Satellite," ensuring the "Globe view" checkbox is checked.
6. Click the "3D" button at the bottom right of the map screen.

For a full 3D view, hold down the Ctrl key while moving your mouse to rotate and tilt the map. To revert to a 2D view, click the "2D" button. Remember to enable hardware acceleration in your browser if necessary; for instance, in Chrome, go to Settings > Advanced > System and enable the "Use hardware acceleration when available" option.

On a mobile device, the process is slightly different due to limited capabilities:

1. Launch the Google Maps app on your Android phone or iPhone.
2. Tap the "Map Type" icon.
3. Directly tap on "3D" to get a 3D view.

Please note that the 3D view on mobile devices might not be as immersive as the desktop version.

If you prefer a more comprehensive 3D experience on a mobile device, consider installing and using the Google Earth app instead:

1. Install and launch the Google Earth app for iOS or Android.
2. Tap on the Search icon.
3. Type in the location you want to view and select the relevant result.
4. Tap on "3D" if the view is not already in 3D.
5. Your view will now be in 3D.

Keep in mind that not all areas in Google Maps support 3D view, and 3D imagery is graphics-intensive, so a capable device and a web browser with WebGL support are recommended.
