Globe mode aside, the Google Maps business was completely revamped in May, and the company also promised new social and augmented reality features were on the way. The Google Maps team has been hard at work as of late.
Rest API and deployed the same to SAP BTP. Experienced in developing AngularJS, Node.js Rest API, Python Application, Python. Google Maps was first released more than 13 years ago - hopefully, it won’t take another 13 before Google Maps mobile gets the 3D globe treatment. Worked on integration of third-party APIs like Google Maps API, Leaflet.js and OpenStreetMap API, Heat Map.Has a good understanding on the DevOps and CI/CD concepts. The mobile version of Google Maps, both the apps and the website, still show the world as a plane. Put another way, the spherical map cannot be represented as a plane without some sort of distortion - see stereographic projection, Gaussian curvature, and the video below. And no, we’re not just talking about Google fighting back against flat Earth truthers.Ī map on a sphere cannot be transferred to a plane in a conformal and area-preserving way. The change means that by depicting the world in a spherical form, Google Maps shows a more accurate representation of the world. This is all thanks to WebGL (although not WebGL 2). We tested it on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge - they all showed the globe just fine. Globe mode only works on desktop, but all major browsers are supported, we’re told. Google Earth, watch out - Google Maps is coming for you. Here's an example of a Fly-Over of a route from plotaroute.You can manipulate the globe as you’d expect - spin it, zoom in, and zoom back out.A viewing distance of around 300m usually works quite well. You can alter the viewing angle and viewing distance in the Touring tab in Google Earth Settings/Preferences - a viewing angle of 70-80 degrees will give you a good view of the hills and the route comuing up.You can view an animated Fly-Over the route by clicking on the 'Fly-Over Tour' item in the left panel (arrow 1 below) and then clicking the Play Tour button (arrow 2 below).Once the file has downloaded, simply click on it to open the route in Google Earth.Then select KML as the GPS download file format and choose whether you would like to include mile/km markers.Select Download from the menu above the map.You can also download the Google Earth app for mobile devices from your app store and view the route in Google Earth on your smartphone. You will first need to download and install Google Earth if you don't already have it.You can even watch a fly-over the route! Follow these instructions. You can view any route from in glorious 3D using Google Earth.
