Isometric Vancouver

Isometric Vancouver is a browser map at vancouver.isoworld.xyz by Daniel (@imnotchalk), built on portals.build. You drag to pan and scroll or pinch to zoom. The on-map panel and coverage.json list 100% of City of Vancouver land and about 4.8% of Greater Vancouver, written as 137.7 of 2,879 square kilometres.

The coverage file says the whole city is drawn except water, and that the 100% figure is capped because the summed frames run slightly past the 115.18 square kilometre reference. Daniel says a few small areas and bugs are still open, including Spanish Banks, and that North Vancouver is next. The how-it's-made note says imagery starts from Google's photorealistic 3D tiles, redrawn tile by tile.

South of Broadway and the west side use a fine-tuned Qwen-Image 2.1 model. UBC and named hotspots use GPT Image 2.6 through OpenRouter. Cars follow real streets, lanes, and signals, but the trips are simulated.
