Abstract
Methods and systems for providing a graphic, such as an advertisement, in a 3D geographical information system (GIS) view are described. A method for providing a graphic in a 3D GIS view may include obtaining a graphic and determining a 3D geographical space in the GIS view based on a geographical reference in the GIS view. The method may also include rendering and displaying a curvilinear representation of the graphic in the geographical space. The method may further include adjusting the curvilinear representation of the graphic according to an updated viewpoint of the GIS view. The curvilinear representation may be oriented directly towards the updated viewpoint. A system for providing a graphic in a 3D GIS view may include a geographical space manager, a graphic representation generator and a display module.
