Hello you can now plan a route online at OSM-3D.org within the XNavigator OSM-3D client (Java3D) and then fly interactively along the route presented in 3D. Currently the routing is available for cars (fastest/shortest) as well as for pedestrians or bicycles for all of Germany. It is also possible to create an animation that follows the 3D route automatically. The service is powered by an extended version of OpenRouteService.org. The data from OSM-3D.org is generated by combining data from OpenStreetMap and SRTM elevation data.
Start and Goal of the route can be specified by picking into the 3D scene or by searching for adresses using the OSM-based OpenLS geocoder. Turn by turn instructions are available for several languages. Further options inlude a graph of the height profile of the route. The new download version of XNavigator also supports the integration of dynamic sensor data (air pollution, water gauges etc.) into the 3D scene through the OGC Sensor Observation Service (SOS) as a very first prototype. as always: work in progress... have fun a.z. http://www.osm-3d.org - OpenStreetMap 3D Germany http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM-3D http://www.OpenRouteService.org http://www.gdi-3d.de http://www.geographie.uni-bonn.de/karto/ z...@geographie.uni-bonn.de _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
