Last week we told you that Andy Rubin was showing off the new Google Maps, which replaces the classic tiles with vector graphics, at All Things D. It definitely looks like a pretty big step up from the version we know today, but I have to wonder how it may run on older devices.

If you’re interested in seeing a better example of how it all looks, the Google Nexus YouTube channel has uploaded a 3D render, which you can check out after the break.

    Does this maybe mean there’s also ability to record video from handsets as well now. With adb at the minute it’s only possible to take screenshots, maybe video is on its way as well now.
