GIS

Have you ever looked at Google Maps and noticed that Greenland appears absolutely enormous—almost as large as the entire continent of Africa? Yet if you check the actual numbers, something doesn’t add up. Greenland covers approximately 2.17 million km², while Africa spans a staggering 30.37 million km². That means Africa is roughly 14 times larger […]

In Part 1, we explored how to integrate MapLibre GL with Vue.js to render a 3D globe and prepare the foundation for WebGL-based custom layers using Three.js. In this follow-up post, we’ll take things further by animating a 3D helicopter model along a predefined route — combining geospatial precision with 3D animation inside a modern

In modern applications, especially those involving geographic information systems (GIS), mapping services, or image processing pipelines, tile-based storage plays a critical role. Tiles are small, pre-rendered chunks of data—often images or spatial data—that are used to efficiently display large datasets, such as maps or high-resolution images. For example, when you zoom in on Google Maps,
