3D Map – The Interactive Experience

A 3D map is much more than a simple picture on your website! 3D Maps provide a realistic depth that enables your visitors to see into spaces, experience the movement of light and shadow, and gain a more complete understanding of environments and locations being shown. This better understanding can be used by the viewers to estimate distances and geographic conditions more precisely. With location labels, markers and your own GPS tracks, a 3D map on your website can become an awesome experience and arouse greater interest of your visitors.

3D Model Viewer

Another easy way to present the 3D map on your own website is with the aid of a 3D model viewer. The 3D map is used here as a glTF file (3D file). There are a few free viewers online available for download. In the following example we use the Babylon.js viewer.

However not all map settings can be displayed. Position, rotation, background and water are not saved in a glTF file.
