In the recent Web Mapping post series Georelated.com examined the new opportunities that have emerged for vastly improved web mapping through
HTML 5 and its support for
SVG,
WebGL,
Canvas and massively improved performance. We examined the
practicality and benefits of vector web mapping as an alternative to web mapping using pregenerated tile images and the
potential of globe web mapping visualisation without plugins or desktop software. In this post we will examine the opportunities for 3D web mapping created through advances in browser technology, HTML5, WebGL and new evolutions in web mapping.
