FIND, the\u00a0UK\u2019s most advanced online mapping website, has launched an exclusive\u00a0London\u00a0Building\u00a0Heights\u00a0map.<\/p>\n
This online map shows buildings with height points superimposed; just like spot heights traditionally shown on walking maps for hills and mountains. The accuracy of the map is unprecedented. In a recent test,\u00a0One Canada Square, a skyscraper in\u00a0Canary\u00a0Wharf, was only 76 cm off its actual height. The building height map shows at a glance the average and maximum height of any\u00a0London\u00a0building, its area and volume, complete with the estimated number of residential and commercial floors.<\/p>\n
Mariam Crichton, FIND\u2019s Development Director, said: \u201cArchitects and Planners have frequently asked FIND if reliable building height information is available, as it was not we decided to\u00a0create our\u00a0own building height model to solve their problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
In order to create the most accurate building height map available, FIND used sophisticated modelling techniques to combine some of the highest quality mapping and height survey data in the\u00a0UK.\u00a0 This map layer can be used for viewing a site within the context of its\u00a0surroundings, attaching height values to a planning application, or just getting a feel for the surface terrain of an area.<\/p>\n
FIND\u2019s June release also utilises the recent release of OS OpenData with maps such as Ordnance Survey Street View now free to view. \u00a0In addition, FIND has become one of a select few mapping providers in the\u00a0UK\u00a0to offer professional quality maps and data for\u00a0Northern Ireland\u00a0from OSNI.<\/p>\n
