Google Maps Travels Off-Road, Into the Sky, and Into the Pocket

Google unveiled new features to its mapping technology Wednesday, including an offline mobile version of Google Maps and 3D enhancements to Google Earth. The announcement comes just before Apple is expected to drop Google Maps from its built-in mapping application on the iOS platform and pursue advanced mapping development on its own. But Google didn't mention Apple as it rolled out some of the newest features to its mapping services. Google Street View cameras are now going places where wheels can't.
