I'm trying to find an effective way to visualise feedback from some real-world sensors measuring wind speeds at various heights. Does anyone know if it's feasible to display 3D data in google maps?
I was imagining 3D arrows indicating direction and wind speed. If it's possible to load a model and position it to a particular GPS position / elevation and then change its orientation to point to a particular azimuth / elevation what could work.
Another alternative I was considering would be to create an image for each height and display the arrow by scaling / rotating the disk. The documentation suggests you could do a single layer at ground level with an overlay but doesn't make any mention of pulling those images up into the air.
I've played with google maps before, but not Google earth. Just trying to get a feel for what might be possible here. Has anyone tried anything like this?
