The height of buildings is determined from OpenStreetMap data whenever available. Buildings lacking height information are assigned a default elevation of 8 meters (8 blocks), approximating the average height of a two-story structure. Currently, the interiors of these buildings are empty.

Roads accurately reflect real-world widths, considering lane information and classifications from OpenStreetMap (OSM) such as primary, secondary, tertiary, residential, and service roads. Parking spaces and sidewalks are also integrated, using distinct materials to visually differentiate them from roads and buildings.

Additionally, the map leverages high-resolution terrain elevation data, combined with land-use data, to ensure accurate placement of biomes and vegetation.
