Explore and master another dimension.
Spatial information that is inherently 3D, like buildings, topography, and subsurface geology, can be displayed in a way that is both intuitive and measurable. What’s more, 3D representations can be used to model structures before they are built, identifying potential problems.
Mapping with Altitude: Designing 3D Maps helps you deliver clear, compelling cartographic representations in 3D that are both eye-catching and informative. Understand scale, surfaces, base heights, texturing, and lighting models. Discover new twists on well-defined 2D cartographic principles, such as size, color, and text. Consider ways to convey time.
Mapping with Altitude focuses on the decisions you’ll make and the specific techniques you can use as you delve into the world of 3D map authoring.
“Shephard takes the reader on a journey about mapping in the third dimension … Mapping with Altitude: Designing 3D Maps is a thoughtful primer for GIS students as well as a wonderful refresher for more veteran cartographers.” -- Sam Kim * Western Association of Map Libraries *
“Overall, this is an excellent book. Shephard has assembled an engaging text that skilfully touches, in effective depth and breadth, on many of the key topics encountered in 3D mapping. The readability of the book is enhanced by clear illustrations, informative highlighted text boxes, succinct chapter summaries, and useful key tips.”
