The altitude of the buildings is based on OpenStreetMap data where available, while buildings that do not have height data have a base elevation of 8 meters (8 blocks), which is the average height of a two-story building. The buildings are now empty inside.



The roads have widths in scale with the real ones, with the width based on the information of the lanes and the distinction in primary, secondary, tertiary, residential and service present in OSM.



Parking lots and sidewalks have been integrated into the map with a material that differentiates it from roads and buildings.



As always, the map uses high-resolution terrain elevation data, in combination with land use data for the positioning of biomes and vegetation.
