Google released an API in May to get fetch 3D Tiles of anywhere on Earth. Using this in standard 3D engines like Blender is tricky because (1) the tiles are in a geographic coordinate system (2) you get a lot of little tiles at varying quality levels I wanted to simplify this so all you need to do is get an API key, select a map region and a zoom level, and get one combined glTF file that you can throw into any engine. Especially if you're just prototyping and want to see how this data looks in your engine before investing in figuring out all the nuances of the API & coordinate system. (Note…

I made a web app to generate 3D models of real places on earth from land cover and elevation data. Click anywhere on the map to get a polygon, and then click "generate". It should work at most scales, but if your watershed or region selection is too large, the result can be less exciting because it's so flat. As a warning, the 3D models can sometimes be too much for my phone. It's nicer on desktop. I'm still working better on mobile support. The land cover data I'm using gives a cool effect, but at some point I'd like to add in global imagery and clouds. The backend is a Python thread…

Hey everyone, We’re Adam & Wolfram, the founders of Hivekit (https://hivekit.io), a geospatial app platform to track people and vehicles, stream updates, and execute logic based on spatial events. This allows teams in logistics, ride-sharing, delivery, construction, agriculture or AR gaming to fully concentrate on what makes their offering unique without having to worry about the complex infrastructure required to run large scale geospatial apps. We both have a long history of building realtime data services for industries like financial trading, gaming or app development - but…

Hi HN, I built an OSINT tool called Weather2Geo that helps locate where a screenshot was taken based on the weather widget data visible (e.g. temp, condition, and local time in the taskbar). People often post these without realizing how specific those values can be in combination. It works by comparing the given weather condition, temperature, and time against current data from thousands of cities. It’s timezone-aware, supports fuzzy matching, and groups results geographically to reduce noise. It’s most effective on recent screenshots, ideally taken within the last hour—since weather and…

Hi everyone, I've made an open-source library for fast spatial search in Rust. It's called Spart, and it currently provides the following features: - Five tree implementations: Quadtree, Octree, Kd-tree, R-tree, and R*-tree - Python bindings (`pyspart` on PyPI) - Fast k-nearest neighbor (kNN) and radius search - Bulk data loading for efficient tree construction Project's GitHub repo: https://github.com/habedi/spart

My friend and I have been collaborating on this lighthearted introduction to doing geospatial computation in rust. Don't know Rust? Don't know geospatial? I'd be interested to know what you think.

Hi HN, I built *Sightline*, a Shodan-style search engine for *physical-world infrastructure*. Shodan makes it easy to explore exposed internet services. Sightline applies the same idea to the real world, using OpenStreetMap as the data source. You can search things like: * “telecom towers in karnataka” * “power plants near mumbai” * “data centers in paris france” or use structured queries: * `type:telecom operator:airtel region:karnataka` * `type:data_center operator:google` Sightline: * uses Overpass API for querying OSM features * uses Nominatim for resolving countries, regions, and cities…
