I’m not really sure what to make of this “next dimension of Google maps” but as long as it still loads quickly on my computer and tells me the most accurate traffic information, i’m on board with the next dimension. Whatever it may be.

Google to unveil their ‘next dimension of maps’.

The big announcement is due this Wednesday morning, where Google will unveil their next moves for Google Maps, ahead of an anticipated announcement by Apple that they will soon be dropping Google Maps on iOS in favour of their own software. Apple’s offering is likely to use the 3D technology acquired in their purchase of C3 technologies last year - an announcement on that is due at the Apple WWDC on June 11.

At this invitation-only press gathering, Brian McClendon, VP of Google Maps and Google Earth, will give you a behind-the-scenes look at Google Maps and share our vision. We’ll also demo some of the newest technology and provide a sneak peek at upcoming features that will help people get where they want to go – both physically and virtually. We hope to see you there.
