Yes, that's NYC covered in darkness. And that little blue dot is you. And that number below (0.038%) is the percent of NYC you have discovered so far. A few of us at IDEO NY created this app (soon to be released) called Streetheart. It challenges NYers to explore the city - ALL OF IT. For those claiming they have "seen everything" or "know everything" about NYC, we provided a humbling metric at the bottom revealing the percent of NYC they have explored (just reaching 20% would be a massive achievement). And yes, in the true spirit of NYC, it only works when you are walking :) Here is the first prototype/video I created for this project. Here are some screen designs for the final version done by a fellow IDEOer:

Here are some previews of the initial prototype:
