NYC buildings and subways

Manhattan building footprints extruded in 3D and colored by construction era, with the MTA subway lines and stations on top and a legend generated automatically from the layers' symbology.

The animation below runs the Time Slider along the buildings' construction year, from 1850 to 2025, so Manhattan fills in era by era. Click it to play the full-quality video.

Planetary basemaps

GeoLibre is not limited to Earth. Planetary basemaps from OpenPlanetaryMap and USGS Astrogeology cover the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, the Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto), Titan, Pluto, and Charon, with a per-project ellipsoid so distance, area, and scale measurements match the body you are mapping. The deep-space starfield behind each globe comes from the Atmosphere Effects plugin.
