Buildings

Free, already-hosted global building footprints from the VIDA Google + Microsoft Open Buildings PMTiles archive on source.coop (CORS-open, range reads). Flat fill at zoom, subtle 3D massing when pitched (uniform constant height - VIDA carries no per-building height). PMTiles protocol is registered once in MapCanvas. ODbL: the '(c) OpenStreetMap contributors' credit rides the source attribution; commercialUse:false is a share-alike caution (display only - never re-publish an enriched building DB). Tap a footprint for its source.

Street view (Mapillary)

Crowdsourced street-level photo coverage as a togglable overlay + an immersive viewer. OFF by default; toggle it on and tap a coverage dot (or, zoomed in, tap near coverage) to open the immersive image and walk the sequence. Meaningful photo dots appear from z14; below that the sequence lines + overview dots show where coverage exists. Token is a PUBLIC browser read token, read from env only.
