Everyone would have to deal with this: It's difficult to imagine introducing 3D in parallel (as long as you don't do it completely disconnected, i.e. a fork), because everything is connected and someone not aware of 3D information would damage it inadvertently as soon as he was starting to make 2D edits on 3D data.

I'm not so bothered about 3D, but rather making it a little clearer on
2D maps that one HAS to go a particular way when the road other side of
the building IS 5 stories below, and the main road is three stories
below that. People who have visited Malta will know what I am saying,
but following a satnav somewhere you don't know after a long flight ...
it would be nice if the map warned you :)
