We are using the Google Maps API to show the map. If and when they start supporting 3d we would automatically benefit from it in CamerAlert. Having said that - the API is using raster maps ( tiles ) whereas 3d uses vector maps and is potentially heavier on the processor. So it's not very likely to happen.

We could do some isometric squeezing in track up view but that would look silly.

No, Google Navigation is a separate app. We are using the Maps SDK (part of the Android SDK) which, at the moment, ONLY offers 2D tiles for showing maps.

And Google do not make their 3D Navigation Map available to 3rd parties.
