<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1204/Google-MapsGL-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Google has further enhanced its use of WebGL to now add more 3D perspective to buildings seen on its MapsGL project, an alternative version of Google Maps (which received the improvement in March). The improvements now add a "parallax" view that allows users to pan around buildings and see them from different angles while still in overhead view. The buildings become translucent in order to avoid o...]]></description>
