It isn't quite what I expected from the idea | of "street view" though; it definitely has a very full map, but | it seems like there are only a few specific spots where you can | actually see the world (i.e. the "street view" part versus the | "Google Maps" part), and it seems like there isn't any way to | move when in the "world" view compared to the "map" view. I'd | absolutely love to be able to scroll through the whole world like | I could in Google Street View, especially if it there were more | than one point in time to choose. | thih9 wrote: | > it seems like there isn't any way to move when in the "world" | view compared to the "map" view | | I clicked on Hyrule Field in Central Hyrule and I could click | on an arrow (not in "map" view) to follow a path. | sdwvit wrote: | I would love to see geoguessr but for skyrim | bot41 wrote: | Woah this gave me a memory flashback to around 2002 when GTA Vice | City came out. Some French guy made all-vice-city.fr.st (that | link doesn't work now). It was made in Flash and was a map of | vice city showing all the locations of stuff. | | Anyway, thanks for the memory and cool map :) | paraboul wrote: | ah good old "fr.st" websites | nassimsoftware wrote: | You're welcome ;) | jbverschoor wrote: | That's so cool..

There are expansion packs too you can pay for, with 3rd | party videos. | | And I kind of want the same thing, only of high-quality 3D | rendered landscapes! For me specifically, slow flybys over Red | Dead Redemption 2 landscapes, and also of real-life Microsoft | Flight Simulator locations. Producing such videos would save all | of the cost of real-life transportation, lodging, waiting till | sunrise/sunset, flying a drone... And instead of having just 40 | videos on rotation, you could have 10,000's... | | I don't have the time to build it, but it's a hobby project I | wish desperately that somebody would! | | [1] https://aerialscreensaver.github.io/ | mrtweetyhack wrote: | some_random wrote: | The How It's Made video is quite interesting, I didn't know the | switch could be emulated | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYtB1rkwcfU | melony wrote: | Are there any open source street views? | BiteCode_dev wrote: | For me (windows, chrome or ff), it works only on the blue | markers, but zooming on the map does not make it more details, | and the switch to street view leaves a blank canvas. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-09-04 23:00 UTC)
