zhouhana Posted July 21, 2011 at 08:38 PM Report Posted July 21, 2011 at 08:38 PM Where/How can I generate a 3D map of Xiamen as seen in the pictures below? http://www.mandarinfun.cn/en/img2/map1.gif http://798747.13977.20la.com.cn/images/%E5%9C%B0%E5%9B%BE.jpg http://www.whatsonxiamen.com/what_images/9169s%20Hall.jpg My Chinese is not very good so I can't read what the watermark says, and the URL is too small for me to see. Also, are there any other 3D map services covering Xiamen? Quote
cababunga Posted July 21, 2011 at 10:24 PM Report Posted July 21, 2011 at 10:24 PM There is a KML file for Google Earth available here: http://www.maplandia.com/china/fujian/xiamen-shiqu/xiamen/xiamen-google-earth.html (I haven't checked it myself, no promises). Quote
abcdefg Posted July 22, 2011 at 02:08 AM Report Posted July 22, 2011 at 02:08 AM The files you gave as examples look like they were from Google Earth originally, and then artistically retouched as well as labeled. I think the watermark in the "What's on in Xiamen" link says: www.appletravel.cn Attached is a "raw" piece of Xiamen from Google Earth for comparison. Quote
zhouhana Posted July 22, 2011 at 10:25 AM Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 at 10:25 AM Thanks for the KML file, I'll check it out! The www.appletravel.cn watermark is only on the last picture. I don't think the images are originally from there. If you look closer, all three images have another, smaller watermark. I'd love to know what it says. Quote
roddy Posted July 22, 2011 at 11:26 AM Report Posted July 22, 2011 at 11:26 AM Edushi.com (E都市). Try putting your addresses into that search box and see what you get. Make sure you've selected the right city. 1 Quote

jbradfor Posted July 22, 2011 at 08:11 PM Report Posted July 22, 2011 at 08:11 PM That is pretty awesome eye-candy. I have to say, though, I have a difficult time using it to actually navigate around. That could be because I'm not as familiar with the city as I would like to think I am; do others find it actually useful compared to the 2-D view? Quote
