Nokia has quietly trotted out a beta version of Ovi Maps 3D. The browser-based app renders a true 3D, textured version of a map with buildings, landscapes, and other key points going down in some cases to the individual tree level. Famous landmarks get quick shortcuts and, in the case of large areas such as Barcelona's Montjuic park, also get special fly-overs to show their features.

Initial access is confined so far to major cities such as London, New York, and San Francisco.

Apparently the attention to detail is stunning. (Although I haven't tested it yet). Should give Google a kick up the pants!
