The sights of the city

Pick a sight and you arrive on the street in front of it, facing it. Everything around it is there too: the roads, the traffic, the people. Every picture here is the app itself.

Plan any route

From where you stand, or from anywhere, to anywhere. By car (one-way streets obeyed), on foot or by bicycle, with every turn spelled out.

3

Go, or let the guide drive

Follow the blue line on the road with live turn-by-turn guidance, or switch on Tour Drive and the guide takes you there, stopping at red lights.

Built from open data

What's real, and what's made up

Buildings

Every footprint and height from the City of Toronto's 3D Massing. The façades are the engine's own: no photographs.

Streets

OpenStreetMap's roads with their lanes and one-way streets, laid on the City's edge-of-roadway map, signals where they are mapped.

Trees & street furniture

Street trees, fire hydrants and bike rings where the City's open data puts them.

Water & light

The lake, the harbour and the shoreline from OpenStreetMap; the terrain from SRTM. The sky and the water are art, not a forecast.

The lake is waiting.
