Fisher Price Baby Grand Piano

3D isometric and geolocation

I am a big fan of geotagging on Wikipedia, it is no longer a mystery. I found a new way to enjoy the thing. Certainly it is not new and some of you have already noticed, but I will file it anyway.

As you already know (or not), Maps Bing, a competitor of Google Maps , has a likeable feature: over some urban places, it is possible to select "Satellite" and "Air" for a vision corner 3D isometric . It's fun and convenient to both: we clearly see the elevations better this way than with a simple aerial.

Now take an item or category that contains elements LBS sufficiently close, in an area covered by this projection. For example, the churches of Venice . Place the {{}} KML above (which extracts contact articles and creates a beautiful KML output) and give it all to eat Bing Maps. Switch to 3D isometric and enjoy the scenery. In the example of the churches of Venice, you can view each one in context. And I must say that the result rips serious race.
