## What is BiomeNavi?

Your everyday streets, rebuilt as a pixel-art world.

BiomeNavi draws a pixel-art map from real map data. It is a map and navigation app made to be looked at, not just followed.

- Terrain, water, roads and railways drawn as pixel art from OpenStreetMap data and worldwide elevation data
- Elevation shading brings hills and valleys to life, so mountains and valleys rise out of the pixel world
- Search for a destination and get turn-by-turn guidance with voice
- CarPlay support. The pixel-art map runs on your car display too
- Works worldwide. Places you have already viewed stay available without a connection
- Turn map features on and off as you like (roads, railways, buildings, place names, station names, peaks, water names and more)

Your commute, your travels, your usual drive. Take them like a journey through a game world.
