## What is Bird's?

「日本パノラマ散歩」では、大都市である東京、横浜、京都、大阪の都市鳥瞰図の上に現在地を表示し、標準地図と衛星写真に切り替えて見ることができます。

【概要】
日本の大都市である東京、横浜、京都、大阪の街並み景観を航空写真と多くの資料を基に、全て手描きによって鳥瞰図（ちょうかんず）に仕上げました。
鳥瞰図とは、空を飛ぶ鳥が上空から地上を眺めるように、高い視点から見下ろすように描いた立体的地図のことを言います。
立体的（３Ｄ）に描写された鳥瞰図なので、誰が見てもわかり易い絵地図になっています。
大都市である街においての方向感覚、距離感がわかります。
日本の大都市の街並みを観光気分で散歩、サイクリング、ドライブなどして楽しめます。
鳥瞰図上で観光するような疑似体験ができます。

【特徴】
都市鳥瞰図とGPS情報を対応づけており、都市鳥瞰図上に現在地を表示できます。
GPS情報に基づき現在地が移動し、都市鳥瞰図の上を歩いているような感覚を味わえます。
日本都市鳥瞰図と標準地図及び衛星写真の表示を切り替えることができます。
日本都市鳥瞰図のすべての地図は、地図制作会社、株式会社ジェオより提供いただいております。
今後も日本の都市鳥瞰図を増やしてゆく予定です。

### 1/5 — Poor resolution

*2015-10-12, version 1.1.1*

Maps look pretty cool in the screenshots. However,  when I press share - save to camera roll in the app, the saved pictures are always blurry and unreadable.
