- Explore in 3D. Start with a featured city or search for a favourite place. Pan, tilt and rotate to find your view.
- Watch the streets move. Simulated traffic brings the nightscape to life, from busy avenues to quiet waterfronts.
- Frame your wallpaper. Choose a screen ratio, add a place title and shade an edge to make room for desktop icons. Export a still image or animation.
- Save and share. Keep your view and traffic in a scene file, send a view link, or embed a nightscape on a website.
