Show HN: 3D World Explorer and Location Guesser Game

TL;DR Google Earth meets GeoGuessr.

I wanted to explore the idea of visualising my city Vilnius with exaggerated terrain since it mostly looks flat on any map. The resulting visual represents more what it "feels" like in real life where each hill you drive up becomes like a small mountain.

Exploration can be done via text search or flying around both on mobile (touch drag or drone/joysticks mode) and desktop (spectator WASD).

Afterwards, I slapped on some location presets + a location guessing game for some extras to support the project.

The solution uses open source data glued by vibes over a weekend.

A quiet thread, for now.Start the conversation on HN ↗
