Central Park in New York in pixel art: the lake, paths and trees, with the city around it

Tiny Atlas

Ride, run or walk real routes anywhere in the world, in pixel art.

Any GPX file becomes a world: the roads, paths, rivers, bridges, buildings and trees from OpenStreetMap, the real hills, and the local climate for the weather. Ride it with the keyboard, or on your real bike trainer, where your watts move you and the climbs push back.

In early development: the world builder works, the game is being built.

Real places, tiny

Every picture below is a real place, built automatically from a GPX file and open map data. Nothing was placed by hand.

How a route becomes a world

  1. Bring a route

    Any GPX file: a ride you recorded, a route you planned, a famous climb. Tracks and planned routes both work.

  2. The world is built around it

    Roads, paths, rivers, lakes, bridges, buildings and trees come from OpenStreetMap; hills from real elevation data; the weather from the area's climate. Full detail along the route, less further out, all the way to the horizon.

  3. Ride it

    On the keyboard or a controller, or on your bike trainer or walking pad. Climbs slow you down at the same watts, and the trainer feels the hill.

What's in it

Any route on Earth

Cities, coasts, forests and mountains, from anywhere OpenStreetMap covers. Routes that can't really be ridden, like a walk that heads out over the sea, are caught and flagged.

Weather from the real climate

Every route knows its area's temperature, rain, wind and daylight month by month, so a ride in Bergen in November feels different from Lyon in July.

Your trainer, your watts

Smart trainers and walking pads connect through OmniPlay. Your power drives real riding physics: gradient, road surface, air and wind. No trainer? The keyboard works just as well.

Looks you can swap

The whole look comes from asset packs: ground, trees, water, buildings, sky. Anyone can make one, and every route works with every pack.

Garry's Mod or standalone

Play it as a Garry's Mod gamemode with friends, or as its own game. One codebase, the same menus and the same routes in both.

Seasons

Summer greens, autumn colours and bare winter trees, with bushes, grass and rocks to match the time of year.
