Google Earth: New 3D cities released- Berkeley, Cologne and The Hague

 

Google has just expanded the 3D building count in three cities, adding tens of thousands of buildings in the process. The three cities are Cologne (Germany), The Hague (Netherlands) and Berkeley (California, US). Here’s a shot of how Berkeley looks with all of the new 3D buildings:

While all three cities look great, the most interesting has to be The Hague. If you’ll remember, there was a large workshop back in February where 60 people got together to help build out the city in 3D. The workshop must have gone quite well, because the city looks great!

Congrats to all of the users that participated in modeling out that city. Also, thanks to anyone else whose building showed up today as part of the update — your hard work helps make Google Earth better for everyone!

Your Own Street View

If you’ve ever wanted to create your own Street View images, GEB reader ‘Steven’ has written an excellent how-to post that explains the entire process. You’ll need a camera and a fish-eye lens, and that’s about it!

You can read about the process on his blog, view the panoramas he created at the National Taiwan University campus, or watch the short instructional video below.

Objections are a requirement to a successful salesday. It means you’re engaging your prospects and customers and helps you move the sales process along (or end the process with an unqualified prospect).
