Every block of Burlington, South Burlington and Winooski was redrawn in a city-builder style by an open-source AI image model, working from Google's 3D map of the city. It's an illustration: small details are invented, and some won't match what's really there.
The sky follows Burlington's real sunset and the current weather at BTV. Buses move along their routes on GMT's published timetable, not live GPS. Planes are live positions from ADS-B receivers.
