Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles

Real cities from an aerial textured mesh. Default mode embeds Google’s own interactive demo.

Embedded official viewer

Loading Google’s official page…

Press “Start exploring” inside the viewer to enter Tokyo. Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, Ctrl + drag to orbit. City arrows and more demos are inside the official viewer.

This is a cross-origin embed, not our navigation engine. Its controls, branding and data credits stay intact. We cannot inspect tile readiness or measure its FPS. Open the official viewer in a new tab if embedding or WebGL fails.

Optional custom Walk/Fly viewer (your Google key)

CesiumJS 1.146.0, starting near Tokyo Tower. Use your own browser-safe, HTTP-referrer-restricted key with Map Tiles API enabled. It must allow this site’s origin. Google billing and quota apply. We supply no key or account.

The field clears on submit. The key stays in this tab’s memory, never page URLs, storage or our server. Google’s tile requests necessarily include the key. Returning to the official viewer destroys the custom session. Never enter a secret or unrestricted key.

Google Maps data is proprietary, not an open-data license. Use is subject to Google Maps Platform terms and Map Tiles policies. All scene data and per-tile credits come from Google. No tiles are scraped, rehosted or persistently cached by this app.

Camera continuity is not image detail. This is aerial imagery, not a ground-captured street scan. Street-level textures may smear, façades may be incomplete, and coverage varies. Embedded and custom FPS are not comparable benchmarks. Live data requires network access and WebGL; upstream demos can change.
