A 3D map has been developed in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany, which accurately shows each square kilometer. On this map, you can clearly see everything from garbage bins to warehouses. The project is intended for emergency services - fire and rescue teams.

After local authorities stated that anyone with access to computers could access this map, the German Armed Forces - Bundeswehr - criticized this situation. They believe that such a map could be used by malicious actors or hostile forces to attack military and critical infrastructure.

Nevertheless, similar maps are being created for other regions. Officials stated that the most accurate versions will be provided only to government agencies.
