Google Maps – How to Share a Link with 3D View Enabled

google mapslinkssharing

I can share a link to Google Maps with someone so that they can view the location from above:

https://www.google.com/maps/@42.213931,-8.7751829,46m/data=!3m1!1e3

And it looks like this:

Now, they could manually click on "Enable glove view":

And they would not only see a satellite image from above, but a 3D model of the map that, depending on the location, may even include 3D models of the houses, trees, etc.:

Is there any way I could create a link so that, when visited, the visitor would directly see the 3D view of the map instead of the satellite image?

Best Answer

You would need to first click on the 3D option just above the global view.

You can then copy the link, which has now become

https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2135127,-8.7751829,51a,35y,39.61t/data=!3m1!1e3

Notice the change from ...-8.7751829,46m/... to ...-8.7751829,51a,35y,39.61t/...

EDIT (following OP's comment)

Unfortunately you cannot force the users' browser to show on 3D.
They have to choose it themselves.

That is the reason why it does not work on your incognito/other browser.
