Glimpse Of Future: Unbelievaby Cool 3D Map of NYC For iPhone

Leander Kahney ()

UpNext 3D NYC iPhone App from Danny Moon on Vimeo.

The 3D NYC iPhone App from UpNext is unbelievably cool. It renders Manhattan in 3D, allowing you to zoom up and down the city streets, in-between buildings, finding places to eat and things to do. The rendering is amazing — see the video above.

It overlays the subway map and crowdsources popular destinations. All this for only $2.99 from the iTunes App Store. Worth buying even if you don’t live in NYC.
