A bit choppy because of the basically nonexistent GPU, and I just made it with xdotool (moving the mouse straight/consistently) while recording the screen, but I'm quite impressed with the level of detail of this 3d map!
Awesome. Breathtaking. But the imagery isn't from satellite data, is it? Must be from airplanes.
The point clouds from those height maps alone, though, I already find to be quite interesting/revealing. You can see the contours of e.g. a tree exactly, even without having any imagery laid onto them: https://snipboard.io/tPsRBo.jpg

Nice! (Note: It takes forever to load, but it's worth the wait.) The not yet loaded tiles give a interesting "thirteen floor" effect :) I found a glitch https://imgur.com/a/6Oh3AQn https://en.mapy.cz/zakladni?m3d=1&height=1100&yaw=234&pitch=... It looks like a quarry. Is the wall too vertical just in the border between tiles? Did they dug that part just between photos?

Why don't map sites ever publish 3D as topo lines overlaid on a flat 2D map? It's computationally much cheaper, and it's not too hard to learn to read a topo map, as long as the elevations are printed in a reasonably dense manner.

Why sacrifice accessibility and usability to save on a bit of computation?
