Google have just added pretty 3D buildings into their Earth app for my home town, Melbourne. Here's a side by side comparison of some real footage I took from my old office vs a similar view from Google Earth. I didn't have a lot of video to chose from to do this comparison so there's some zooms in the original footage that I couldn't replicate in Earth because their zoom tool actually changes the viewer's location in space and zooming out is unwieldy thanks to the frustrating interface. But I think the video demonstrates how well Melbourne is modelled in the app.
