MoCo 3D press kit
MoCo 3D is a free guide to food and things to do in Montgomery County, Maryland: every food business the county has inspected, with the county’s dated record, plus parks, trails, libraries, museums and official events, a plan builder, and an optional 3D map with a daily game called Guess the Spot. It is built from public data by one person. It is not an official County product, and it shows no ratings, prices or hours it cannot source.

Press kit notes
Please describe it as
- A free, independent guide to food and things to do in Montgomery County, Maryland, with an optional 3D map, made by one person. Independent project. Not affiliated with Montgomery County Government.
- A model: buildings have the right place, shape and roughly the right height, built from public data. It is not photo-real and does not show current street-level detail.
- The day/night and season switches are visual effects, not live conditions. Construction markers read “permit on file as of” a date and are not a picture of a site.
