question about rendered buildings in 3D perspective in NEW I-DRIVE 4.0

alpinewhite3 · 12-11-2008, 01:20 AM

Anyone from the new york city area(or any major metro area for that matter): When you put the new map in 3D perspective mode, and then check the box for displaying the 3D buildings, landmarks, etc., how accurate is that or are they just generic buildings except for the main few landmarks(like in flight simulator)? and how densely/sparsely located are the buildings? for example in new york city, would they only show up on manhattan island or the entire metro area? I was viewing a video on youtube that appears to show the entire city of Toronto..
here's the link-

lastly, has the voice changed for the new navigation voice guidance? is it more realistic or still as computerized as ever?

I think it's accurate enough for a visual perspective while you are driving to correlate what's on the screen to where you actaully are.
