However Google Maps is non the alone map to characteristic dynamic edifice as well as terrain shadows.

OSM Buildings is a pretty awesome JavaScript library for visualizing OpenStreetMaps edifice geometry on interactive maps. Check out this Building Shadows demo to thought an instance map which includes 3d buildings as well as edifice shadows which are theme on the engagement as well as fourth dimension of day.

F4map is an amazing 3d map built amongst OpenStreetMap data. The map includes around incredible 3d buildings, 3d trees as well as fifty-fifty the H2O is animated. The shadows on the map are inward real-time as well as reverberate the position of the Sun as well as thus movement throughout the day.
