What it is for

Three things people keep using it for.

Showing a place in a meeting
A skyline on a screen settles an argument that a floor plan cannot. Open the district, turn it, and everyone is looking at the same thing.
Putting a city on your page
Conference sites, city departments and tourism pages embed a live view instead of a photograph. One iframe, no key, no account for your visitors.
Teaching and talks
Urban design, logistics, architecture, geography. A real city beats a diagram, and the students need nothing installed.

Put it on your own site

One line of HTML. No API key, and your visitors need no account.

Embed a live city

Paste this where the map should appear, and change the city name at the end for any of the 17 above.

Running a conference, a city department or a development that wants its own branding, its own start view or a location we do not cover yet? Write to us and we will set it up.

Questions

Do I need an account?

No. Every city on this page opens without signing in, and there is nothing to accept or fill in first.

What does it cost?

Nothing to look at, and nothing to embed on your own site.

Where does the 3D come from?

Open map data: OpenStreetMap buildings on world terrain. That is why every city is free to view and free to embed, and why coverage varies — some cities are mapped in detail, others show terrain and their landmarks.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, in a modern mobile browser. A laptop is more comfortable for flying around a district, but nothing needs installing either way.

Can you add my city?

Often, yes. There are 17 live and more prepared; a location goes live once its opening camera angle has been set by hand, because a city dropped in at a default angle looks like nothing at all. Write and ask.
