Tilt the map and the city stands up: measured building models, not footprints stretched to a guessed height. On by default at street zoom, on top of 3D terrain, in the same session. The map is touring by itself; drag it to take over.
Nobody ships a building model. They ship a listing where the buyer sees the actual house from the street, a planning tool where the new block stands among the old ones, a city map that looks like the city. This is what 3D looks like from the outside.
Footprints become buildings with measured roofs: a tower is a tower, a warehouse is a warehouse, a terrace has its pitched roof. Nothing guessed from a floor count, nothing extruded to an average.

same monthly pool
The building tiles are signed into the same map session as the basemap. Tilt, orbit, switch them off and on: still one unit. They also sit on top of 3D terrain.

The SDK loads the renderer only when a map reaches a covered city at street zoom, so flat maps stay light. Recolour the buildings to your palette or switch them off with one call.

The Streets basemap with real building models on it. Tilt the camera at street zoom and every building stands up with its measured roof shape: towers, gables, saddle roofs, flat warehouses, all as they are. It is a layer on the same session as every other map, not a separate product.
Most map 3D is a footprint pulled up to a guessed height, often from a floor count, with a flat top. These are measured models: the roof has its actual pitch and ridge, a church has its spire, and a tower is as tall as it really is. The difference is obvious the moment you tilt over a historic centre.
Real estate and property, where the building is the product; urban planning and architecture; solar and roof assessment; navigation and delivery, where a recognisable skyline helps; tourism and city marketing; and any dashboard that wants a city to look like a city.
Like everything on the map: one unit per map session. The building tiles are signed into the same session as the basemap, so tilting into 3D, orbiting and switching the buildings off and on add nothing. Ten thousand sessions a month are free; paid plans start at five euros.
Where we carry measured building data, every building in that area is included, not just landmarks. The map falls back to the flat basemap elsewhere, and the layer is growing region by region.
The rendering module loads only when a map reaches a covered area at street zoom, so a map that never gets there downloads nothing extra. Models stream at a level of detail that follows the camera, so a whole skyline renders at a distance and single roofs sharpen as you approach.
Buildings are untextured, one colour you can set, with no facades, windows or interiors. There is no floor or address data on the models themselves, no trees, and no bridges or other structures. It is a very good massing model of a city, not a photoreal one.
Yes. With 3D terrain on, the buildings sit on the terrain surface instead of floating or sinking, so a town on a hill looks like a town on a hill.
Yes. The free plan includes 10,000 units a month with no card and no sales call, which is 10,000 map sessions if that is all you spend them on. It is a hard cap, so a traffic spike cannot produce a bill.
The building tiles, like the basemap, come from a European CDN, and the session is issued from the European Union, end to end. No part of the path touches a US-controlled provider. We publish a DPA and a full sub-processor list.
