Wonderful work! > We update the map every year, draw in new buildings, paint in new colors of houses etc. It would be cool to have a time slider control to see how the city has changed over time. Similar to what Google Earth does for selecting aerial photos from different dates. > I´m on the map, good luck finding me! I'll take a shot at it... I only see a handful of people depicted and they're on the little boats. A…

Well, you wouldn´t see much difference. A large area of what´s depicted has a preservation status. But great idea, I´ll check the difference in a few years :) And no, I get seasick, I´m sunbathing on a roof somewhere ;) We were all on the map, I´m noticing some got lost during last update, I´ll add them back in soon!

Maybe you can have an option to highlight the difference from previous year. Shouldn't be a lot of work, seeing as changes are infrequent.

Funny, I've had this bookmarked for two years since I visited Iceland in 2013...still look at it from time to time. What an incredible experience, I fell in love with everything except the food. I think Anthony Bourdain said the only place in the world where he's absolutely hated the food was Reykjavik...I can't say the man is wrong. But everything else is wonderful.

The best lobster soup (actually, best any soup) I ever had was at Saegriffin, which appears to be either just off the map (bottom left) or not marked, and I also found the incredible hot dog hut. So our food experience was good, but agree - the experience was incredible. Without a doubt the best day of my travels anywhere in the world was our Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik - 6 friends, great tour guide, drinking c…

I didn't get the hype about their soup, yet can recommend the whale steak.

Wow. I'm a graphic designer myself and always wanted to try this for my neighborhood. Do you really go and look at each building and draw it? And do I have to be slightly insane to do this or will I become slightly insane doing this?

hehe, insane is a good word to describe this one. I´m not sure of the long term consequences but there were long nights, weeks, months and years spent on this one. It´s even a tad bit more than you guessed. First: Make photocopies of ground plans, sections and drawings of each side of appr.600 houses at the city planning office.(appr.3.000 a2 sheets of paper if I remember correctly) Sit down for one summer with two f…

OK. Well … I suddenly decided to start with a very small area. And maybe todays Map services (Apples Flyover, Ex-Nokias Here) can stand in for the plane chartering. And I think I'll draw digital. znor, If you are still around: do you happen to know how graphic designers approached this in a time before computers? I remember seeing maps like this as a kid and assume none back then did 3D-modeling?

Ha! Funnily enough, I thought the whale was awful. I'm guessing you and I should never split a meal in a restaurant.

Congratulations, this is really a beautiful software. Do you have an idea of the total budget spent in such beautiful project?

All honor of the online solution goes to my friend/genius Brian Suda: http://www.suda.co.uk , though I worked with him on the design and supplied data. 3d,drawing+painting+coding=you don´t wanna know, I tend to shock most customers with initial estimates, which is why most of the projects are self initiated, like this one.

Yes I can imagine that is expensive. But I was just wondering if this kind of software was possible in, per example, cities with "less stable economies", once I know that is expensive and take a lot of hours working on all this details.

yes of course, we´ve used this map zoom solution on a number of our own projects and for different clients. There´s a beautifully simple admin system behind it to add and edit points etc.

Yes, there are many ways of doing this. Some of todays services like StreetView would have helped a lot. But do keep in mind that if you create the data from scratch yourself you´ll have much better control over things and a better understanding of how to portray the data in the best possible manner for each given project. We went the ultra detail-perverted way on this one :) By using our own data I also know for a fact I won´t run into any licensing or copyright issues, and apart from that I´m able to use the 3d models for all sorts of stuff. If you need some further tips you´re free to send me an email at borgarmynd@gmail.com

Hey guys! I´m the cartographer that designed this map, here are a few other examples of our work if anyone´s interested: http://www.borgarmynd.com A friend let me know about the post and I just wanted to say thanks for posting and feedback, much appreciated :) I got a few of my architect and graphic designer friends to work on this map with me while we were still in school, 7 years ago, and the website with the zoom…

Incredible effort! Kudos on keeping it updated. Has Google Earth helped in easing out your workflow and associated costs?

No, I don´t like using their data for anything cause of possible copyright issues. I´ve got a much more detailed, game engine based 3d model of Iceland now than they do anyway ;)
