- The author discovered a 3D campus map visualization they consider the best they've seen, comparing it to a 'Spectate Mode: Free Look' from Counter-Strike 1.6.
- 3D maps allow free navigation without forcing north-south orientation and can align with the user's real-world direction, improving navigation.
- The author created their own version for their campus, storing POI data locally in the browser with features like title, description, category, emoji icon, and background color.
- Usage involves toggling between Edit Mode (for adding/editing POIs) and View Mode (for the final interactive map), exporting data to clipboard, and adjusting code lines for configuration.
- The map uses OpenStreetMap building height data, and the basemap was switched to OpenFreeMap Bright for preferred colors.
- POIs on the author's campus map are color-coded: red for main classrooms, dark blue for seminar halls, light blue for ATM/library, yellow for restaurants, green for mosques, and purple for angkot stops.
