... So users can display 3D models inside their web pages without installing Google Earth Software by using code blocks. Similarly, Google Map API consists of code blocks that are used to modify map according to user needs [4]. API, an abbreviation of Application Program Interface, is a set of routines, protocols, that specifies how some software components should interact with each other. ...
Geospatial applications are becoming indispensible part of information
systems, they provides detailed informations regarding the attribute data of
spatial objects in real world. Due to the rapid technological developments in
web based geographical information systems, the uses of web based geospatial
application varies from Geotagging to Geolocation capabilities. Therefore,
effective utilization of web based information system can only be realized by
representing the world in its original view, where attributes data of spatial
objects are integrated with spatial object and available for the user on the
web, using integrated Google API and Google Earth API. In this study a city in
the south-western part of Nigeria called EDE is examined and used as a case
study. Using Google Map API and Google Earth API, the attribute data of the
study area stored in XML databases will be integrated with the corresponding
existing spatial data of the study area; to create a web based 3D geospatial
application. We envisage that this system will enhance the effectiveness of
web-based Geographical Information System (GIS) and the overall user
experience.
In this map provides accurate zoom of the 3D view of any location in a very detailed manner with navigation controls. The 3D view gives realistic view of the location in original presentation whereas 2D view does not give a clear indication and images of the location. This 3D view has the options of day and night view using time slider and also has the option of shadowing. This 3D view shows a very detailed virtual view of any building, schools, colleges, offices etc with the detailed approach of the location with navigation keys through website. This map in 3D view gives a satisfaction of visiting any location in realistic manner.
