3D map
Topographic spatial representation
A 3D map represents terrain or space with three dimensions rather than as a flat surface.
Traditional maps show only length and width; 3D maps add elevation and depth, allowing viewers to see mountains rise and valleys drop.
Digital 3D maps let users rotate, zoom, and navigate through the represented space: The hiking app's 3D map showed how steep the trail would be.
Physical 3D maps use raised surfaces to represent topography.
