Re: Google Maps
It would be cool if Google put out some kind of color-coded overview map showing the most recent streetview date for each street. They have the data...can't be that hard to map it, right?

Google Maps
Google Maps (for Android) will have "parking difficulty" indicators for 25 cities, including the Twin Cities.

Any Droid user out there care to do a review? Maybe multiple attempts and write up a big ol' post.

Re: Google Maps
How the hell do you even do a photosphere in 2004.

Re: Google Maps
If you had taken all those pictures back then you could stitch them together today.How the hell do you even do a photosphere in 2004.
That would have been a year or two before it closed.Was Sam Goody still open or was that a ghost sign?
Re: Google Maps
It's interesting that TJ Maxx left, considering that they're doing really well these days, compared to most of the other stores that have left downtown.
Re: Google Maps
There's already a Marshall's downtown and they're owned by the same company, so it probably doesn't make sense for them to have two locations there.
Re: Google Maps
They're not quite the same, despite both being TJX stores. There's overlap, but the assortments are a bit different.

Cuuuuuuuuuute!

3D Apple Maps
The Flyover Mode looks like it got a refresh of 3D models for Minneapolis, like truly recent. Right in time to have it be accurate for the Super Bowl? Until this week it still was showing a six year old 3D model of the city that still had the Metrodome.
I'm chuckling that Flyover Mode shows the Wells Fargo logo on the new buildings.

The Wells Fargo Logos are still there

Re: 3D Apple Maps
Wasn't there an agreement to alter the logo on the roof in some way?
Re: 3D Apple Maps
Is it only downtown? Noticing old imagery elsewhere.

Re: 3D Apple Maps
It looks just downtown to me.
Re: 3D Apple Maps
I thought so, but maybe it was just not to light them at night.Wasn't there an agreement to alter the logo on the roof in some way?
Re: 3D Apple Maps
The roof signs can't be three-dimensional and they can't be lit, if I remember correctly.
Re: 3D Apple Maps
I haven't been keeping close tabs on them, but I just went to look from the conference room down the hall and they don't look any different to me. Definitely still three dimensional. Not currently lit, but it's daytime.
Re: 3D Apple Maps
My phone no longer shows mpls in 3D. Did the restart and update. Shows all other cities, but not Mpls? Any ideas?

Re: 3D Apple Maps
I'd give it a little time. When I first tried to view the 3D imagery on my iPhone or iPad, I had the same problem. However I could view it on the desktop version of Apple Maps. Now it has appeared on my mobile devices.
Anyways, the imagery is newer than Google's, but not super recent. I'd say late summer or early fall of last year?
