The Lands Department today announced the launch of a 3D Visualisation Map of Lantau & the Islands, and a 3D Indoor Map of Kowloon East & Kowloon Central.

The 3D Visualisation Map of Lantau & the Islands covers around 16,600 buildings and about 660 infrastructure facilities, including flyovers, footbridges and subways.

The 3D Indoor Map of Kowloon East & Kowloon Central, meanwhile, covers around 130 buildings, including government and private buildings, as well community facilities.

The 3D indoor map also provides information on floor locations, units and points of interest to support innovative indoor data applications such as location-based services, tourism and indoor navigation.

Additionally, a new street image function, "Streetscape 360", has been added to the previously launched 3D Visualisation Map of Kowloon East & Kowloon Central. The function offers 360-degree street-level panoramic images for users to virtually navigate through the streets of the city.

The datasets for the 3D maps, relevant Application Programming Interface services and sample codes have been uploaded to the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure Portal and "Open3Dhk" for free downloading.
