Central Vancouver as one illustration, about 4.4 km across: Stanley Park, the West End and downtown to Gastown, False Creek, Granville Island and Kitsilano. Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom; every block is drawn.
The dark satellite view around the drawing is the rest of Metro Vancouver, not drawn yet.
Drawn from Google's Photorealistic 3D Tiles with one isometric camera, redrawn tile by tile by GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, guided by a structure map from the 3D model. Method after tinyrj, Tiny London and Isometric NYC.
The traffic is simulated: cars drive the real streets, lanes and signals, but not real trips.
