Refractions Releases “TerrainServer” 3D Web Mapping System
Refractions Research today announced the availability of "TerrainServer" 3D Web Mapping system to resellers and integrators. TerrainServer adds a third dimension to any ArcIMS or OpenGIS WMS map server, and delivers the results to users over the web in real time. Complete product information is available at the TerrainServer product site: http://www.refractions.net/terrainserver
"TerrainServer is a breakthrough tool in terms of ease of setup and integration with existing internet mapping infrastructures", says Paul Ramsey, president of Refractions Research. "A 2D mapping site can be made 3D by simply adding a single JavaScript button."
TerrainServer operates as an extension to existing web mapping technology. A 2D web mapping server creates a map, which is then draped on top of a 3D view created by TerrainServer. The result is a unique and informative hybrid of terrain and cartographic information.
