MapFan DB
Display Map Database
We provide display map data that can be used for a variety of purposes, from background maps covering all of Japan to large-scale maps that show individual buildings and structures, to area data of facilities that can be used for map display and searching, and various polygon data and icon data for richer representation.
- Wide-area map (1/25,000 scale) data
- Detailed map (1/2,500 scale) data
- Railway network
- Contour line data
- Forest, water system, Rest Area/Service Area, and national/quasi-national park polygon data
- Annotation data for multilingual maps
- Building name data
- Building height data
- Points for building route search
- Landmark icons, 3D landmark objects
- Landmark icons, 3D landmark objects
Small to medium-scale background maps covering all of Japan
- Optimal map representation with 12 levels of display scale.
*Top (1/3.2 million to 1/25.6 million), Middle (1/200,000 to 1/1.6 million), Base (1/12,500 to 1/100,000) - Vector data composed of polylines and polygons with a rich array of attributes.
- Provides a set of administrative boundary polygons, administrative boundary lines, and road/railway lines for display.
A large-scale map showing even individual houses and buildings.
- Classified polygons and polylines (over 100 types).
- Features and annotations designed with visibility in mind (over 350 types).
- All buildings and houses were converted into polygons, and attribute data was assigned to each.
- Map annotation icons and contour lines (at 5m intervals) can also be provided as a set.
Each railway line, including JR and private railways, is represented by a color designated by the railway company
- JR, private railways, monorails, cable cars,
All railway lines, including trams, are stored as network data. - Point data for station names and line names is also provided as a set.
It enables diverse map representations.
Polyline data that represents contour lines on a map
- Wide-area map: Contour lines at intervals of 50m to 10m.
- Detailed map: Contour lines at 5m intervals.
- This can be used for risk assessment of flood damage such as tsunamis and landslides, development of disaster prevention plans, and creation of hazard maps.
Various polygon data to make the background map more visually appealing, such as the display of names
- There are four types: "Forest Polygons," "Water Data (including river line data)," "Rest Area/Service Area Polygons," and "National and Quasi-National Park Polygons."
- Forest polygons allow for rich rendering of mountain ranges.
- Water, Rest Area/Service Area, and National/Quasi-National Park polygons are each linked to POIs and name tables, allowing us to identify their respective names and attributes.
Map display in 13 languages and 14 variations.
- MapFan map annotation text is now available in multiple languages.
- The supported languages are Japanese, English, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Korean, Italian, Indonesian, Spanish, Thai, German, French, Vietnamese, Portuguese, and Russian—13 languages in 14 variations.
- This will be useful in creating various map solutions for foreigners residing in Japan and those visiting Japan.
Building names such as residential buildings, office buildings, various facilities, and shops.
- Building name data for apartments, condominiums, housing complexes, restaurants, retail stores, office buildings, and facilities (education, lodging, religious institutions, cultural institutions, entertainment venues, etc.).
- The building's height is also indicated by the number of floors.
- Please use this for map display and search purposes.
Building floor number and height information associated with building footprint polygons
- Building floor number and height information linked to the building footprint polygons.
- The primary meshes to be targeted are as follows:
5030 / 5132 / 5134 / 5135 / 5234 / 5235 / 5236 5237 / 5239 / 5339 / 5340 / 5740 / 6441
*The buildings to which height is assigned are only a portion of the mesh. - It can be used in simulations in various fields, including landscape, views, urban planning, radio waves, and disaster prevention.
Point data to improve the accuracy of building directions
- Point data that organizes suitable locations for destinations and guidance points for buildings nationwide.
- It is possible to indicate the appropriate location even for buildings that do not have an address.
- Points are generated for each building shape and are linked to the address data of each building, so they can also be used as points for route searching based on address points.
3D-style icon data of famous buildings in urban areas and tourist destinations.
- Famous buildings are visualized in a unique way using bitmap images.
- We provide a set of configuration files for displaying the map.
- By placing three-dimensional landmarks on a two-dimensional map, we can provide clearer and easier-to-understand directions.
Famous landmarks that serve as guideposts are represented in 3D visuals.
- Data that displays prominent landmarks on top of house shapes on a city map.
- We can also provide a text file containing reference coordinates and latitude/longitude information for each vertex.
- OBJ data consists of [object files], [material files], and [texture files], which are combined to create a 3D representation.
