2.5D Sketch style

OSMBuildings is an engine for displaying 3D buildings on a web map.

You can download the javascript code to run this as an effect overlaid upon maps with OpenLayers or Leaflet. It uses HTML5 canvas, which will require a modern web browser.

License

Fronted code is a free software, while backend code is proprietary.

Navigation

You can navigate by mouse, or using touch screen.

Development

Classic 2.5D version on github https://github.com/kekscom/osmbuildings

Modern WebGL version on github https://github.com/OSMBuildings/OSMBuildings. Not updated since 2020 after a name dispute
