”PU 3D MAP” In the digital age, mapping services have become an integral part of our daily lives. However, when
it comes to 3D mapping, particularly in regions like India, the options are limited. This research
project delves into the challenge of developing custom 3D maps for areas that are underserved
by existing mapping platforms. Unlike conventional 3D maps that primarily focus on popular
landmarks, our goal was to create immersive and customizable maps that blend the richness of
traditional map services with the versatility of 3D vector mapping.
Our journey began by recognizing the absence of public 3D maps covering many regions, with
most offerings being 2D maps with labels for prominent locations. In India, the absence of 3D
mapping services like Google Maps or Google Earth prompted us to explore the potential of crafting
our solution. We envisioned a map that not only provided a three-dimensional perspective but also
incorporated features familiar to users of existing map services, including Places, Terrain View,
Current Location, and Local Places.
The project’s development phase led us to a critical crossroads in choosing the right methodology.
We discovered that most available methods were either proprietary or closed source, limiting our
customization options, or posing significant implementation challenges. As a result, we embarked
on an experimentation journey with Unity and Godot, attempting to create vector maps from scratch.
Ultimately, we found our solution in Google Vector Maps, which offered a balance of ease of
implementation and the flexibility we desired.
The project’s evolution continued as we transitioned our application from a desktop
cross-platform solution to a web-based platform. This transition opened up new possibilities for
accessibility and reach. Through this project, we demonstrate the feasibility of creating 3D maps
and showcase that, with substantial effort and a deep understanding of web technologies and
graphic systems, it is possible to construct a 3D mapping experience by synergizing multiple
languages and frameworks.
Key components of our solution include the use of Svelte for building web and user interface
elements, Google Maps API for obtaining vector data, and with necessary libraries for translating
coordinates into a three-dimensional space. Furthermore, we leveraged Three.js for rendering vector
maps and seamlessly integrating custom 3D models into the map environment
