3D mapping - my experiences and methods

Great stuff! I remember mapping a couple of blocks around Baker steet and it took forever. Your commitment into 3D is definitely the next level!

Thanks for spreading the word! I hope we’ll see more people adding building materials, colours and roof shapes and one day we’ll have enough data to run some interesting stats!

Via Monte Napoleone

Great detail! Adding POIs in an editor takes a lot of time indeed. Can’t imagine how many hours it took you to add all these.

Гениально! Прям подняло настроение с утреца :-)

Warning: GPS tracks recorded with an iPhone can be a waste

ianlopez1115, it does not apply to iOS 5 and earlier versions because there were no apple maps there. By the way could anyone try recording a track on iOS 7 and see if the problem remains? (InsideRoomB says it should not)

Warning: GPS tracks recorded with an iPhone can be a waste

kusmi, yes, we did the reverse test, iPhone 3GS does the same sort of alignment when the road network is available, and iPhone 5 acts as iPhone 3GS when it is offline. Have a close look here:

This can be nothing else but the alignment to existing roads (the real road is ≈ 10 m away; we were 3 times on that intersection).
