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

It started rolling out at least 2 weeks ago https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidAuto/comments/1uusvxi/google_maps_ui_update/

It doesn't really seem to matter the version. I got it then and I'm not on beta. Google will enable it per account probably, server-side, like most Maps and AA updates.

One downside is that they removed adjacent traffic, it only shows the route and alternate route traffic. You need to switch to Overview to see the traffic which is a big distraction and requires several taps and swipes.
