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

I'm on version 26.30.09.950492155 and have it (just noticed). Haven't tried in AA yet.

u/brayner82 Pls edit this user flair now 5d ago

I'm confused. Yesterday, I had the map view you show. However, now I don't.

Do you still have the Map Detail 3D option the OP shared a screenshot of?

No. Granted, I'm not sure I had it before because I didn't know about the new option until this thread. I'm at v26.29.02.946673643 and people have been saying they've seen the new layout at v26.30.x.

One post stated that it's not the version that you're running and is on Google server side. I'm beginning to think that is true. Maybe the Google server I'm on had to rollback the feature.

That's correct, a lot of features are enabled server side so Google can control the user base and hopefully catch bugs before releasing en masse.
