3D Landscape

Use the Java ME™ or the Android SDK to develop applications with realistic 3D maps

Easy to use API’s for displaying and controlling high quality 3D rendered maps

Use the RESTful API for bird-view images

Powered by C3 Technology map data

Why 3D Landscape?

Devices like mobiles are used everywhere and are ideal for maps applications

Realistic 3D maps for a unique feeling

Simple API’s that are developed specifically for mobiles

3D Landscape from Ericsson Labs is a map

solution tailored for mobile application demands

Main Features of 3D Landscape

Realistic 3D images (3D city models)

Advanced rendering engine for streamed 3D map data (Java ME and Android)

Simple UI controls (touch in android)

A RESTful API for bird-view images

Control for a compass and POI pins (signs) for Android.

Free access to map data up to a limit

3D Landscape SDK’s

Render the 3D map view and handle communication towards the map server.

The view is defined based on the target position and the position of the camera.

3D Landscape JavaME Client API

Java ME library that is easily included in many mobile applications

Supported phones are most SonyEricsson models with Java platform at least JP-7 and support of Mascot Capsule V3 rendering engine

The library provides the functionality of retrieving, displaying and interacting with maps from your application
