So this is nothing new because it's not a display. For me there are 3 main-questions: - Where do I get the data from? - I license it for money - e.g. TeleAtlas - I load and remix it for free based on CC license - OpenStreetMap - Which metadata and which details do I get? - political areas - streets, ways - POIs - images - How do I display the data? - Hardware: 2D / 3D display or like this ne above - Which software do I use (browser based, native)? - How do I display the data (Google Earth vs 2D map)? UrbanMapping is a good idea I think and if the card you see in the video would be a device, it would be really innovative ;) This works like the well-known (and “60 years old” old) postcards which show several images at once – depending of your viewing angle.
