Someone recreated Google Maps’ 3D mode in just 1.5 hours using Kimi K3.
The result is a fully interactive 3D world map, featuring detailed buildings and the ability to navigate virtually anywhere.
The craziest part?
It was reportedly built using just two prompts.
Features
Extruded buildings using real-world height data.
Dynamic shadows based on the sun’s position.
Google Maps-style rotation, tilt, and zoom.
Building info cards with height and construction year.
Smooth transitions between locations around the world.
According to the creator, the entire project was generated for a fraction of the cost compared to using GPT-5 or Sol.
It’s another impressive example of how AI is rapidly changing what’s possible in software development.
