In case anyone is interested in 3D Terrain simulation (specifically for GPS tracks, e.g. hiking, skiing): I'm working on <a href="https://cubetrek.com" rel="nofollow">https://cubetrek.com</a><p>Source is here: <a href="https://github.com/r-follador/cubetrek">https://github.com/r-follador/cubetrek</a>
This is a beautiful project but unfortunately the OSM data's out of date -- over a year old at this point. Based on <a href="https://github.com/StrandedKitty/streets-gl/issues/182">https://github.com/StrandedKitty/streets-gl/issues/182</a> it seems like this might be abandonware.
This is awesome. I didn't realise OSM even had such detailed data on building shapes. As others have noted, outside (or on the outskirts of) major cities the data is quite sparse but central London, for example, looks great.
A similar project doing exactly the same, that has been working for years, with lighting and weather effects: <a href="https://demo.f4map.com/" rel="nofollow">https://demo.f4map.com/</a>
In case one of the developers is reading, small-ish bug: I increased the vertical field of view "all the way" to 120 degrees. When in "morning" mode, there is a rectangular "shade" over the right bottom corner of the screen. When in "evening" mode it is in the left bottom quarter. (At least on my MBP with Chrome.)
This is awesome! I'm not a gamer but a huge map nerd, however I've always dreamed of a "real world" mmorpg. I've taken a stab at learning Unreal to combine with some map data but never got too far.<p>I think this is a better approach. I assume it's using "regular" vector tiles and rending things based on that? Like where a map usually has green fill for trees, it's rendering out a patch of trees?<p>Super cool.
With textures this looks nicer than demo.f4map.com , but sadly, map data is way too old. And bridges are still a huge issue. With name like "Streets" I was expecting to be able to drive around in some sort of vehicle.
I like that 11th Century Dover Castle is now an apartment building :)<p><a href="https://streets.gl/#51.12937,1.32037,45.00,0.00,630.67" rel="nofollow">https://streets.gl/#51.12937,1.32037,45.00,0.00,630.67</a>
All the assets are loading sequentially. I have 100ms of latency to the server so that means several seconds of load time for me. Should be an easy fix to load them in larger batches.
This is pretty cool, but demonstrates why google/apple maps make heavy use of bespoke models vs just the map data, as is demonstrated pretty well by the sydney opera house and harbour bridge<p>This: <a href="https://shottr.cc/s/Qxhj/SCR-20250108-r6p.jpeg" rel="nofollow">https://shottr.cc/s/Qxhj/SCR-20250108-r6p.jpeg</a><p>Apple maps: <a href="https://shottr.cc/s/QWES/SCR-20250108-r69.jpeg" rel="nofollow">https://shottr.cc/s/QWES/SCR-20250108-r69.jpeg</a>
This is really impressive.<p>Rather disappointed to see that my condo building is flat despite being 4 floors and a nearly 20 year old renovation of a 100+ year old building. How does stuff like that happen? In the mean time the repo looks like good readin'
