Google has been on a roll with new features for its Maps service this week, from matching users to restaurants that they might like to adding battery percentage to location sharing. Rather than settle for two though, Google decided to end the week with one last surprise (which might irritate some flat-earthers).
As of today, Google Maps will now change its perspective from a flat view of the planet to 3D Globe Mode (as Google calls it), giving you a more accurate view of Earth. On the previous flat map, Greenland looked to be about the same size as Africa, but now everything should be to appropriate scale when fully zoomed out.

Dam^, you’re right!
>heir driving directions have gone downhill though.
One of the big mapping sites used to tell you how to drive to England from the U.S. The instructions were something like “Head east, find a beach, hold your breath, drive under the ocean for approximately 1800 miles, find a beach. Don’t forget that the Brits drive on the left hand side of the road”
We should have taken Greenland. Should be part of U.S.
