Last calendar week Mapbox revealed their novel extrusion properties for information layers inward Mapbox GL JS. These novel extrusion properties allow you lot to practise 3d buildings (extruding buildings past times their number of floors) or other 3d information visualizations on a map using your ain information layers.
Robert White has already used Mapbox's novel 3d buildings selection to practise this impressive Vancouver Zoning Map. Robert's map non alone has 3d buildings but too uses data styling to color those buildings as well as other map features to exhibit Vancouver's distinct metropolis zones.
Using the map you lot tin explore how & where Vancouver uses zoning inside the city. You tin too encounter how this zoning has an final result on the edifice heights inward Vancouver's neighborhoods.
Andy Woodruff has invented a variety of hydrodynamics physics engine for interactive maps. It allows him to practise an animated map which visualizes H2O drainage menstruum for whatever place on Earth.
In the Rain on the Terrain Andy tries to answer the query of where H2O would menstruum if you lot poured it over the terrain at whatever place on the planet. His solution is essentially to purpose elevation information to uncovering the lowest side past times side place for whatever given location. Drop only about H2O at this place as well as it volition uncovering the path of to the lowest degree resistance as well as motion to the side past times side place amongst the lowest elevation.
Repeat this procedure as well as you lot tin plot a long path of the to the lowest degree resistance, moving downhill. If you lot hence animate a polyline along this path you lot tin practise a map of flowing rivers. Andy's map allows you lot to visualize the animated menstruum map of drainage for whatever place on public (based on his uncomplicated algorithm). The map too includes only about quick links to zoom the map to a number of locations amongst interesting terrain.
Recently National Geographic has started using Leaflet.js to supply interactive versions of the beautiful supplemental posters issued amongst each months National Geographic magazine. The September poster, exploring life inward the Pacific Ocean off British Columbia, is available to persuasion inward the British Columbia Supplement.
The Oct impress edition of the National Geographic includes a double sided poster most Colonizing Mars. The fine art side of the poster depicts a possible human colony on the crimson planet. It explains only about of the technical difficulties which would move faced inward establishing a Mars colony as well as shows what such a colony mightiness expect like.
The map side of the poster is a novel map of Mars based on imagery as well as information from NASA's most recent missions to the planet. If you lot are interested inward maps of Mars you lot mightiness too bask National Geographic's article on the history of mapping the planet, What Mars Maps Got Right (and Wrong) Through Time.
