Google Maps 5.0: Next Generation of Mobile Maps

Google has come out with Google Maps 5.0 which features 3D interactions and offline reliability. Google Maps boasts of more than 100 million active users today.
The 3D interaction is pretty amazing. You can tilt your screen and drag the map down through your fingers, to see that the whole building in 3d and trees areas just seem to pop-up. Twist with two fingers to rotate the map. Slide two of your fingers together or apart (multitouch) to scale to any zoom level.  About 100+ cities around the world have been mapped to 3D.

Secondly, the offline mode. You can now visit most frequently visited places on your maps without having to connect to the internet every time. Google Maps 5 stores all the necessary data in the cache.
