Patria

A neighborhood explorer with Google's photorealistic 3D map, native Street View, and suggested walks.

The application lives in explorer/.

cd explorer
npm run dev

Open http://127.0.0.1:4173. No dependency installation is needed. Sign-in uses the hosted Sites platform; the local preview provides an explicitly labeled onboarding preview.

• Explorer setup and map sources
• Reference research and experience decisions
• Original illustration prompts
• Google Maps setup and Marble scene workflow

Use the layers menu for the muted Patria styled map, a flat map, overhead satellite imagery, or live traffic. Signed-in location search and discovery use Photon and OpenStreetMap. Set the browser key in explorer/.env for local maps.

cd explorer
npm test
npm run build

The build emits a Cloudflare Worker at dist/server/index.js with public assets embedded. Photon lookups run on the server. Preferences and saved places remain on the device.
