Frequently Asked Questions
How does City Roads render Portland roads?
City Roads pulls raw street geometries from OpenStreetMap using the Overpass API or pre-indexed protobuf graphs, rendering them in real time on a high-performance WebGL canvas.
Can I export high-resolution posters of Portland?
Yes! The interactive viewer allows selecting custom background paper hues, ink colors, and exporting vector SVG (infinitely scalable) or print-quality PNG raster snapshots.
Is commercial use permitted?
