Google Earth includes a little-known function that allows you to analyze the elevation profiles of roads, streets, highways, railways, paths, etc. polylines. The tools for export/publish to KML or KMZ files from your flat 2D (or 3D) drawings and maps provided by 'Spatial Manager' (AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD or Desktop), will enable you to easily perform this analysis from you own data
'Spatial Manager' (AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD or Desktop) allows the users access to dynamic map servers from their drawings or maps. In this post you can learn how to configure some of the most interesting specific maps for Central Europe (Germany and other areas)
From the first 'Spatial Manager' versions, access to vertical NearMap images has been included as a preset option through the dynamic Background Maps technology (as well as OpenStreetMap, Bing, MapBox, and others). Now you will also be able to enjoy and benefit of the impressive NearMap Oblique images
Yandex provides image mapping services as an alternative to similar ones such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, etc. Yandex allows users access to tile map servers (XYZ/TMS) for the whole planet but with more diffusion and detail for Eastern European countries
