UpNext 3D NYC
UpNext 3D NYC is the first 3D city app we have seen on the iPhone.
The application allows the user to explore Manhattan via a 3D map with the normal subway/search functions.
The demo below provides a walkthough:
“In days gone by this would of been called ‘mobile 3D GIS’, nowadays mapping apps are ubiquitous with the inclusion of 3D fast becoming the selling point. Is the 3D map anything more than a gimmick? The same question has been asked for years about 3D GIS in general.”

this is cool. they’ve thought a lot about simple things like reviews, social network integration and just gone on ahead and built it. it probably won’t make much money for them, users for this kind of thing are always smaller than the number of people like me who go ‘whoah this is cool’ and never use it. still, it is cool.
