Place information
- Place names and approximate positions are public facts compiled by us. The one-line descriptions in the app are our own writing.

Art and sound
- The 3D cities, walkers, vehicles, animals and landmarks are built in code from simple shapes. They are our own work and stylised, not models of the real buildings.
- All sounds (footsteps, waves, birds, bells, traffic) are synthesised live in your browser with the Web Audio API. No recordings are used.
- Icons are emoji drawn by your device's own fonts. Shop signs use your device's fonts for Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Marathi.
