One of the great advantages of 3D maps is that you can watch the pretty from the comfort of your couch. Recently I was in San Francisco, and the golden gate bridge was covered in fog – I could not see much of it at all! While moping about my bad luck, I went and looked at it on 3D maps. Here is a screen shot:

 

So beautiful, isn’t it? And much more real than when I saw it in real life.. which that got me thinking. We humans have made so many elegant architectural marvels over the years. Now thanks to 3D maps, we can enjoy the marvels of 20 cities across the world. With some of them, we can even look at the buildings, bridges, towers and churches at street level.

 

Hence the theme of our next competition – architecture. How do you enter the competition?

• Check out one or more of the 20 cities which are covered by Nokia’s photorealistic 3D maps.
• Pick a building/bridge/tower that you think is awesome, except for the Golden Gate Bridge.
• Take a screen shot which has the Ovi logo on it somewhere to show that it is indeed from the 3D maps.
• Post it on the comments here, or tweet it with the hashtag #OviMaps3D.
• To make things a bit more even keeled, you can only post to twitter or comment here with a screenshot only twice every 24 hours.

The competition will close on 23rd June, at 12:00 GMT. If you have any questions about the competition, or how to take a screen shot, let me know below in the comments section
