3D Buildings & Terrain like in Google Earth or Bing 3D Maps?

I think I know the answer to this but thought I would check just in case.

In Google Earth or Bing 3D Maps, you can show not only the terrain but also textured 3D buildings. So for example, you can view New York City and see the terrain and also all the buildings.

Is it possible to view these databases in the same way in GM or are these strictly done only within GE and Bing Maps?

Thanks!

    Mike,

    If you get obtain the 3D building data from somewhere then you can load that into Global Mapper and view the data in 3D. You can't directly pull in the Google Earth or Bing Maps data though.

    Thanks,

    Thanks very much Mike. I thought that was the case but since I know so little about all the GM features thought it might be possible.

    Thanks again.
