Ultra Realistic Drive — Live World

There are no hand-made maps here. The start screen is a live map: search a town, click a start and a finish, and the route between them becomes the world. Elevation tiles give the terrain at 4 m resolution near the road and 16 m out to the horizon; OpenStreetMap gives every road with its class, width, bridges and speed limits, every building footprint with its height and roof, the coastline, rivers, lakes, forests and fields. Roads are graded into the terrain the way a road builder would cut them, houses stand on their own terraces, the sea sits at sea level, and a Mediterranean town gets clay roofs, dry grass and pines while a German one gets slate, green grass and beeches. A 5 km route in a town of a thousand houses is ready in about ten seconds.
