What you get, where.

What you get

Measured 3D buildings with their real roofs and heights, on precise survey ground. Bridges, ramps and embankments sit exactly where they are.

Where

• The Netherlands
• Switzerland
• New York City, all five boroughs
• Vienna
• Japan, in the cities with official 3D models
• Estonia, in Tallinn and a growing part of the country
• Germany: Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony

What you get

Survey-grade ground, so slopes, embankments and the levels of bridges and ramps are accurate. Buildings come from the map’s footprints and heights, dressed in a facade style from the region. In Hamburg, Bremen, Saxony-Anhalt and Saarland it is the other way round: measured 3D buildings on global ground. In the United States, England, France, Denmark, Norway, Poland and Czechia, roof shapes and heights are also measured from the air (in testing).

Where

• The United States, outside New York City
• Canada
• The United Kingdom: England, Wales and Scotland
• France, with measured building heights
• Belgium: Flanders
• Luxembourg
• Denmark
• Norway
• Poland
• Czechia
• Slovakia
• Estonia, outside the areas with 3D buildings
• Austria, outside Vienna
• Portugal
• Spain: Catalonia, the Basque Country and Navarre
• Italy: South Tyrol
• Japan, outside the cities with 3D models
• Hong Kong
• Australia, where it has been surveyed
• New Zealand
• Uruguay, in the towns
• Germany: Hamburg, Bremen, Saxony-Anhalt and Saarland (measured buildings, global ground)

What you get

Global elevation data: the ground is right at the scale of a city, but small slopes, embankments and steps are smoothed. Iceland and the Gulf states get a better national or regional ground model, still coarser than a survey. Buildings are only as accurate as the map’s footprints and heights in that place. Check the area before you build it for a client.

Where

• Every other country

What you get

Government aerial photographs draped on the ground, 5 to 60 cm a pixel depending on the place, cleared for commercial renders. Everywhere else, satellite colour with ground textures. On the Pro and Studio plans.

Where

• The United States
• Canada: Quebec
• Switzerland
• The Netherlands
• Belgium
• Luxembourg
• France
• Spain
• Portugal
• Germany: every state but Thuringia
• Austria
• Denmark
• Poland
• Czechia
• Slovenia
• Estonia
• Italy: South Tyrol
• Japan
• Hong Kong
• Australia: New South Wales and Tasmania
• New Zealand
• Uruguay

Everywhere

Streets

Roads, bridges, paths, water and rails are built in every country, as well as the map draws them. In well-mapped cities that is very well; in some places the map is thin.

Facades

Buildings from the map wear a facade style from their region, chosen by use and number of storeys. They are styles, not photos of the real building.
