Working on my PhD writeup and I've just come across this, which reinforces the overall point on using 3D virtual cities for mobile navigation...
UpNext NYC is the first interactive 3D map on the iPhone that gives you the ability to explore Manhattan (or any city really). With UpNext you can fly and zoom through the city fluidly, in its full 3D glory, without network hiccups or download times.
Along the way you'll be shown restaurants, nightlife, shops, and all the places that are local favorites or highly rated. Tap a building to see all the businesses inside, or tap a subway station to see all the trains passing through. Search for bars, hair salons, sushi, or any of our other 50+ categories and you'll get all the results in your area.
Now if only the map was in an non-photorealistic style. :)
