A new 3D city mapping service called Skape, designed for architects, planners, local authorities and surveyors, is now available from Infoterra, a provider of geographic information products and services.
Skape enables users to manipulate urban landscapes online by combining high resolution 3D textured city models with 2D mapping and terrain data which the company claims is a technological first.
Skape launches with coverage of major UK cities including London (centre), Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham, Southampton, Brighton, Bournemouth, Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle. By the end of 2010 Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Cardiff, Edinburgh and additional London coverage will be added to Skape’s city coverage.
