But as we say, it is not the only thing that is being talked about on the network of networks Together with the replacement of Bing Maps, it seems that 3D navigation is being prepared, something that has been attracting a lot of attention lately, especially after introducing the Flyover feature of the new Apple tool, which allows you to view the3D maps, buildings, and terrainThus, Windows Phone 8 could guide the user through maps with raised buildings , being more realistic and indicative.
Also, Nokia Maps on Windows Phone 8 might have hardware acceleration, or what is the same, use the power of the physical components of the terminalto get an application faster, more agile and with better graphics Something that is closely related to volume maps , thus supporting the rumor of navigation with three-dimensional maps Undoubtedly the line that the rest of the platforms and map tools are raising.
