Edit
This calendar week I was actually impressed alongside 2 maps which were inspired yesteryear BERG's Here & There horizonless maps of Manhattan. The OSM Buildings GL Inception Map together with the Tangram Bendy Map both supply a horizonless perspective for whatever place inwards the world.
In both maps nearby 3d buildings are shown from a kickoff somebody betoken of view. In the distance withal ascent beyond & to a higher house the foreground buildings the map of the balance of the urban marrow bends towards the heavens.
I was likewise impressed this calendar week alongside Dropchop, a browser based GIS built alongside Mapbox together with Turf.js. It allows y'all to perform quite sophisticated spatial queries on mapped information without a server together with inwards your pick of mesh browser.
Dropchop allows y'all to upload information from your computer, from a URL or fifty-fifty from OpenStreetMap, using the Overpass API. The best means to notice out what is possible alongside Dropchop is to play alongside it. If y'all don't bring whatever map information to manus hence y'all tin terminate operate the in-built Overpass API magician to catch about information from OpenStreetMap.
Once y'all bring performed the required GIS operations on your mapped information y'all tin terminate hence download the results every minute a GeoJSON file or every minute a shapefile.
