  • You could have a look into osm2world.org – AndreJ Aug 5 '16 at 5:56
  • osm2world uses a Java-based (not JavaScript!) renderer for producing tiles. Although pretty cool it doesn't seem to fit his requirements. – scai Aug 5 '16 at 6:44
  • Thanx for replying AnderJ and scai... – Rajesh Kumar Aug 5 '16 at 7:03
  • I just want to tilt the view of my map tile that's it. osm2world.org is really cool but it doesnot fit my requirement – Rajesh Kumar Aug 5 '16 at 7:06
  • I guess that three.js has this functionality. See a tutorial for the qgis2threejs plugin; Some functions of this library may be useful for your needs. – dof1985 Aug 5 '16 at 8:45

Peter Liu at Mapbox wrote a tutorial about tilting a Leaflet map with CSS transformations, but found it resulted in awkward interaction and degraded image quality. Here's a little map I made trying to build on Peter's tutorial.

If you're open to other options, Mapbox GL JS might be better suited for a tilted map. It contains methods for setting both pitch and bearing. They even have an example using WMS.

OpenLayers 3 allows tilting of camera angles.
