Google has quietly released 3D Imagery in more new cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Edmonton, Winnipeg, West Midlands (UK)  and perhaps a few others.  As with the previous cities they’ve updated, it looks phenomenal from the air though a bit rough when you get down to ground level.

Google hasn’t announced every addition to their 3D Imagery, so I’ve been working on building a comprehensive list. With the help of our old blog entries, old Lat Long Blog entries, Wikipedia, @seandhattersley, and GEB reader ‘Munden’, I think I have a pretty solid list. If you know of other cities that are already showing the 3D Imagery, please leave a comment and let us know.

The post Google releases 3D Imagery in Atlanta, Chicago and more appeared first on Google Earth Blog.

As they often do the, folks at Google Sightseeing have a post that takes us on a tour around the world of a particular topic. Their choice this time? Ice Hockey.

Growing up in Michigan, I played quite a bit of hockey (most of it on the lake behind our house). The lake has many more houses around it now, though it’s almost certainly still a great place to play hockey for a few months each year. Despite a variety of historical images in Google, everything in that area was captured during warmer months (which tends to produce nicer looking imagery).

Now that I’m in Atlanta it’s a bit of a different story (even more so now that our NHL team the “Thrashers” moved to Winnipeg a few years ago), though hockey is still very popular around the world.

The story on Google Sightseeing includes various historical stadiums and other buildings around the world, including a handful of great murals in Street View like the one seen here:

I encourage you to check out their full post to learn more.  You can also found a few hockey resources over on Google Earth Hacks, such as this file of every NHL arena or a list of other hockey-related files.

Alex sent us this story: “I’m in the process of trying to find a new place to live. I found a really cool apartment online – close to everything, modern design, pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I of course then did the Google street view with my friend Todd and not only saw the super sketch area it was in, but a man, inside of the dumpster filling a baby stroller with trash. Needless to say, it looks like I found the perfect place.”
