Personal Navigation Device's (PND) manufacturer Mio today announced its forthcoming Mio C620 PND featuring 3D maps and 3D landmarks. The device will have a 4.3 inches screen and will be able to show 3D maps from Tele Atlas. (we have posted about Tele Atlas in the past)
According to a Tele Atlas study, 81% of current and potential navigation system's users have a preference for 3D display over 2D display offerings. The study also indicated a strong willingness to pay for additional 3D city map content.
3Dwalkthroughs.com is excited about this announcement and we believe it is just another step towards a fully 3D internet. Obviously it will take some time and a great deal of effort for all buildings and landmarks to be modeled. However, as more applications are developed which integrate 3D models, the number of buildings modeled in 3D will surely increase exponentially.
Next step...the ability to walk through the building.
