Today, while editing this week’s edition of WeeklyOSM, I stumbled upon this map.https://github.com/uplbtools/room-tbaIt’s a campus map. A simple campus map with descriptions for each important POI. But I personally think the visualization is really, really good. It’s the best one I’ve ever seen so far.It really reminds me of a certain FPS game that I used to play. I don’t remember its name, but I think it had a similar map. A fully 3D map where you could freely navigate around it, while important locations were still clearly marked so you could “fly” around the area.The fact that this 3D map also includes building height data from OpenStreetMap makes it even more fun. It feels just like that game!Oh, I just remembered the title. It reminds me of the “Spectate Mode: Free Look” camera that becomes available after you die in Counter-Strike 1.6.So I really, really wanted to make something like this too, but for my own campus.So I built this.How do you use it?If you host this index.html…
