Cork Guide has released a mapped conduct to Ireland's 3rd largest city. This bird's optic sentiment interactive map provides an interesting categorized conduct to the urban heart in addition to someone in addition to its major points of interest, hotels & heritage bars.
At the midpoint of the Cork Guide is an oblique map of the urban heart in addition to someone showing the city's buildings inwards 3D. The 3D map is a fiddling flake of a cheat equally an interactive 3D map equally it is built on an icon map rather than from vector map tiles. Using a static icon of the urban heart in addition to someone equally the map agency that to a greater extent than details on the buildings aren't revealed equally y'all zoom inwards on the map. As the map icon of the urban heart in addition to someone doesn't accept whatever map labels it too agency that at that topographic point aren't whatever route names displayed on the map, fifty-fifty at the highest zoom levels.
However the map is even hence interactive in addition to y'all tin click on areas of the urban heart in addition to someone to uncovering to a greater extent than nearly Cork, its history in addition to places to view inwards the city. The map information windows too include links to OpenStreetMap, which agency that if y'all produce upwardly one's heed to view somewhere y'all uncovering on the map y'all tin larn the address details (and route names) y'all bespeak from OSM.
The principal payoff of the icon map library developed for the urban heart in addition to someone conduct is that it tin too endure used for edifice plans. If y'all click on the Cork Public Museum link y'all tin sentiment the library has been used to produce a flooring map for the museum. Again an oblique bird's optic sentiment is used, this fourth dimension showing a roofless innovation of the museum. Click on the private rooms inwards the museum innovation in addition to y'all tin honour out to a greater extent than nearly what y'all volition honour inwards that exhibition space. This is a much improve role of the Cork Guide static icon mapping library.
If I was developing the Cork Guide going forwards I would throttle the role of the static icon map library for creating interactive edifice plans for major buildings inwards the city. I would hence await to supersede the principal mapped conduct to the urban heart in addition to someone using an established 3D mapping platform such equally OSM Buildings.
