Google Maps lovers, the object of your affection has just been further improved. Take a look at this video that shows you how Google has applied graphics magic to Google Maps, making landmarks and buildings look a whole lot more 3D.

Google's new parallax view, seen in the Google-Maps-rendered map view, brings landmarks to life, giving them a perspective they didn't have before.

So as you wander around Google Maps on your virtual tourism adventures, take a look at famous landmarks and even buildings in your neighborhood from a variety of heretofore-unseen angles. To experience this coolness, on the Google Maps page click Map view and be sure to enable "Maps GL" on the left to get the full effect.
