Little Big City is a fun WebGL experiment which creates a pocket-sized basis based on OpenStreetMap data. Pan the inset map on Little Big City as well as y'all tin persuasion a piffling metropolis made large on a pocket-sized 3D globe.
The globe visualizes buildings, roads as well as H2O from OpenStreetMap on last yesteryear of a pocket-sized 3D globe. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 radius command allows y'all to alter the scale of the map information shown on the map. Increase the radius as well as y'all tin persuasion a slightly bigger pocket-sized 3D globe.
The map itself is initially zoomed inwards on Manhattan. Unfortunately the map doesn't include zoom controls or a search facility. This makes it a piffling hard to pan the map to a novel location. For example, I assume it would accept close xv minutes for me to pan across the Atlantic to persuasion my neighborhood inwards London
Little Big City reminds me a piffling of Ecolapse, which creates a like 'small world' trial using Google Maps Street View imagery.
Ecolapse is a prissy extension of the Hyperlapse library created yesteryear Teehan+Lax (Hyperlapse itself unfortunately seems to no longer be - although the source code for Hyperlapse is still available on Github). Using Ecolapse y'all tin create an animated Street View displace alongside a real clever overhead 'small world' effect. Ecolapse distorts the Google Street View imagery to portray an overhead persuasion rather than the normal Google Maps landscape view.
You tin create your ain animated Ecolapse tour precisely yesteryear dropping ii map markers onto a Google Map. When the animation is created y'all direct maintain the selection to recess the animation, zoom inwards as well as out of the Street View as well as piece of occupation your keyboard arrow keys to scroll through the route frame yesteryear frame.
