It will make 3D displays worth using.

They actually just use images alot of them
http://www.conversations.nokia.com/2...d-is-not-flat/
To make this possible Nokia has partnered with C3, the leading provider of 3D mapping solutions, offering photo-realistic models of the world.
C3 uses modern camera equipment to capture as many as one image per second of the same object from up to 100 different angles. The images are then used to automatically reproduce the shape of the objects with very high accuracy.

Feel free to ask for modding if it bothers you.
At least on Firefox 3D requires plugin, but it is really worth trying. They have really mapped whole metropolises in 3D. In the Helsinki view I can even see my little suburb in Espoo. It's really the scale and quality of the 3D that makes this better than what I've seen before. Can't wait until they expand it to everywhere.
Few screenshots of 3D views.
