3D Landmarks are photorealistic images of prominent landmarks such as a monument, building or other structure. 3D Landmarks can improve user orientation and sense of place in unfamiliar or complex situations.

Data Features

  • Landmarks designate significant places of interest to tourists and/or identify structures visible or significant due to size or history
  • 3D Landmarks are based on polygons which can be scaled and rotated 360 degrees
  • Each structure is delivered in 2 levels of detail with varying polygon count:
    • Light resolution: < 500 polygons (average 200)
    • Standard resolution: < 1000 polygons (average 500), depending on complexity of the structure
    • Icons are also available for smaller scale applications in 64 x 64 pixel
    • Descriptions of landmarks and architect name are delivered as a text file in English and all official country specific languages

Format

  • Available in .OBJ and TGA (for icon)
  • Support for NAVTEQ formats GDF, SIF+, RDF and NAVSTREETS
