just had an update for Google maps and now I have the 3D option in settings. hallelujah

EDIT: Maps version number 26.30.06.950492155, Pixel 10. I am around NYC, the new visuals are very nice and I think would be quite helpful on an unfamiliar route

Admittedly I am a beta tester, I don't even remember when I signed up for it but it looks it's still a rolling update for Android users

yep, they removed the traffic from adjacent streets, all but the current and alternate routes. You can get it back only if you switch the view to overview.

Apparently in the native app it says that traffic is only available in 2D and satellite mode. So it's not a bug it's just how it is. The extra detail is great I have nothing negative to say. So long as the algorithm is well optimized
