Explore from the air or take the wheel. Try Village backstreets, West-side corners and the North shore crescent, then choose your own turns. On phones, Drive opens a clear playing view; Menu holds the map, routes and settings. Relaxed pace reaches 22 km/h and Normal reaches 68 km/h. Tap a ground street on the map for directions. The 2.4 km False Creek loop still offers optional Cruise; other routes are manually driven. Walking, bridge driving, traffic, historical layers and proposed developments are not included yet. Granville Island and the rest of Vancouver are outside this first area.

These are historical approximations, not current building measurements. Terrain is flat. The simplified 2002 shoreline is supplemented by park polygons. Street widths, turning aprons, road-clearance trims, promenade, models and trees are artistic approximations. Source data was retrieved on 30 October 2026.
