With the deprecation of Google Earth API and Earth Enterprise, many users are looking for alternative solutions to provide a 3D environment for geographical information. CartoDB can be a viable option, offering features like on-the-fly data retrieval using complex spatial SQL queries and advanced cartographic capabilities through CartoCSS. The combination of CartoDB with Cesium provides a perfect match, leveraging the benefits of modern open web architecture based on reliable APIs and decoupled components. This setup allows for the use of CartoDB's imagery provider to fetch tiles and GeoJSON features using SQL API, making it a complete use case for all platform components. The example showcases a layer selector with customizable base layers, tiled sources, and vector sources, including PostGIS functions to retrieve centroid points. Cesium supports Mapbox geojson simplestyle spec but allows overriding the default pin image. The example also demonstrates controlling layer visibility events and feature clicks, enabling the movement of information panels to pin positions. This setup is easily extensible, with custom infowindows and metadata available for features, inviting users to experiment and contribute to the ecosystem.
