Chung Nguyen's fantabulous WebGL Flight Simulator allows you lot to receive got command of a break of dissimilar planes. I'm non certain if the WebGL generated 3d environs is based on existent mapping data. It appears that it mightiness go every bit the instructions tell that 'you tin also wing to whatsoever identify around the world' (although I haven't worked out how to practise that).

There are iii links to (different versions of?) the game. I've solely managed to teach the minute link to work. This mightiness go because of the WebGL enabled browser I'm using hence it mightiness go worth trying the other 2 links every bit well.

If you lot desire to endeavour a to a greater extent than traditional map based game as well as hence try Quizzity, a nicely designed map quiz built using the Leaflet mapping library. The quiz itself follows a familiar format, requiring you lot to pinpoint a serial of locations as well as wins points based on the closeness of your answer.


The renowned Jurassic Park amusement complex has rejected the Google Maps API inward favor of the upstart Leaflet.js mapping library. When the world's favorite dinosaur inhabited subject common decided to practise a novel online map for Jurassic World they turned non to the mammoth Google construct but instead chose the Microraptor similar independent mapping platform of Leaflet.

The Jurassic World Map is a custom designed, oblique view, interactive map of the world's latest, as well as around tell around exciting, subject park. Visitors to the common tin role the map to respect the location of hotels, restaurants, balance rooms as well as all the park's best rides as well as shows.


Mapbox has created a actually bully bicycle road planning map for Washington DC which also provides a 3d dimensional peak profile of the route.

Capital Bikeshare allows you lot to drib 2 markers on a map to develop your starting betoken as well as destination. It as well as hence plant out a cycling road betwixt the closest Capital Bikeshare finish to your starting betoken as well as the closest station to your destination.

The magic actually happens notwithstanding when you lot click on the 'elevation profile' button. If you lot opened upwardly the map inward a WebGL enabled browser the map volition arguing to an oblique stance as well as a 3d peak profile volition go drawn on transcend of the entire route. Rotate the map to stance the 3d peak inward all its glory.

Another bully online experiment this calendar week was Parogra.ph. This natural linguistic communication mapping interface allows you lot to add together features to a map past times using written commands. Type a location into Parogra.ph as well as a map mark volition go added to the map. You tin also add together polylines to the map as well as modify the map type (there is currently a pick of satellite, terrain or paw drawn).


OneBayArea Maps is a bully tool for exploring San Francisco move times as well as belongings prices. The map allows you lot to visualize the human relationship betwixt move times as well as Bay Area housing prices as well as could assistance you lot respect an expanse to alive that is both commutable as well as affordable.

Center the map on a location inward the Bay Area, select your agency of carry as well as select a median identify cost as well as you lot tin stance a map of all the places inward the expanse that are accessible as well as affordable. The areas that tally your criteria are shaded inward blueish as well as you lot tin conform your criteria using the move fourth dimension as well as identify prices slider buttons.
