c# 4.0 - Does google maps API provide elevation details for buildings? -


i final year computer science undergraduate student india. want create wpf application displays 3d buildings in latest google maps 5 android. basis of final year project. have questions before start working on this.

  1. should make desktop or web based, or should use web store metadata , render data in desktop software?

  2. for 3d display of buildings in map area, wpf enough or need knowledge of xna , direct x too?

  3. will violate google maps tos if use google maps api? (i want google maps not provide in india) using bing maps better option?

  4. is feasible read building elevations , rendering them using above mentioned maps apis? elevation data available through google maps api terrain , not individual buildings?

i have 3 months complete project , have given details of technologies intend work with.

will need in-depth knowledge of more technologies this?

excuse me if missed detail. posting cellphone using opera mobile. it's time have android client stackoverflow.

1) entirely you. don't specify target user hard best way deliver application is. example, if want able distribute , have high compatibility perhaps web-based application best. conversley, if require high performance , targeting specific os, chip-set, etc stand-alone application may better.

2) again, hard say. wpf can render 3d objects , may provide require. if again require more complex rendering may want @ later versions of direct3d, can lot things hdr textures, multi-threading, etc.

3) not lawyer can't sure - if if still depend on specifics of implementation. said, bing maps section 2 (i) seems pretty - academic use seems pretty open long make application available publicly without restriction. google tos seems more restrictive me @ least.

4) me breech of google maps/earth tos - section on restrictions on use seems pretty clear...but again, not lawyer can't sure...
