Hello everyone, I want to use three.js to develop GIS now, and use three to load the map. Do you have any good suggestions or examples for reference?

Perhaps one of these articles?

- [Using web map services with three.js](http://blog.mastermaps.com/2014/03/using-web-map-services-with-threejs.html)
- [threebox](https://github.com/peterqliu/threebox)

But you may need to specify more what sort of GIS you want to do… Doing this from scratch in three.js, you may find yourself reinventing things that would be done for you in map-specific tools like Mapbox GL.
