Google held a briefing for its map products yesterday showing the latest technology they have which is being integrated into the existing services:Google Maps and Google Earth.

In the briefing,the Googler Peter Birch showed the key points:very detailed and enhanced offline,3D maps.

Google says the improvements will be done in coming weeks and all could be run in Android and iOS(including iPad).However,he didn’t give out the details about which versions of Android/iOS devices could be fully supported.As recently a lot of rumors saying Apple will drop Google Maps in iOS 6,I believe the movement Google’s taking is to strike back Apple’s threat.

Take a preview of this new experience on Google Earth now:

With this enhanced 3D imagery,I think we could have a tour just in front of computers.What do you think?
