New Satellite Video Mapping - Business Office Two

Mapbox conduct keep created a stunning demo of a video of populace taken from satellite embedded inside an interactive map.

Back inward March Mapbox released a video of a map containing video captured yesteryear Skybox's SkySat-1. In the Mapbox video yous tin encounter that the SkySat-1 video is embedded on a map as well as thus that the user tin zoom as well as pan into the video equally yous tin amongst whatever interactive slippy map.

Of cast I wanted to examine as well as encounter if this was possible using the Google Maps API. My origin unsmooth (and rubbish) endeavor to examine mapping Skybox's video of the Burj Khalifa was Satview. This map only places a div chemical part containing the video over the map. So if yous pan the map the video won't motion amongst the map.

Mapbox's novel map genuinely uses an overlay to embed the video on the map as well as thus that it scales as well as moves equally yous zoom as well as pan the map. Video inward Mapbox shows satellite imagery of Maryland, shot from infinite inward January, on superlative of the static Mapbox satellite imagery. Not entirely tin yous pan as well as zoom into the video on the map yous tin rotate it equally well.

Now that's impressive!
