Click on the map view drop-down on the top-right side of the map and click Maps 3D.

To use Maps 3D on here.com, you need a browser that can handle WebGL technology.

We recommend a recent version of Chrome (14+) or Firefox (8+).

To use Safari, you’ll need to turn on the WebGL setting yourself. To use Internet Explorer, you’ll need the Google Chrome Frame add-on.

You’ll need the following. (Note: most recent PCs easily meet these requirements.)

• Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8.

• 1GB of RAM (ideally at least 4GB)
• 2GB free space on your hard drive (ideally at least 10Gb)
• A 3D-capable graphics card with 64MB (ideally 512MB) of VRAM (Intel integrated graphics processors may run slowly). Your graphics card needs to work with WebGL 2.0 technology.
• A high-speed or broadband Internet connection

You need at least the following:

• Mac OS X 10.5 (ideally 10.6 or higher)
• Intel 1.5GHz processor (ideally at least 1.8Ghz)

• A high-speed or broadband Internet connection

It could be that your graphics card driver is out of date. Try searching for a new driver on the internet.
