Can you expand on what exactly the threat might be? How is a 3D map more dangerous than a 2D map? And these are public spaces, it’s not like it’s some secret information.

A threat actor might rapidly scan potential targets to optimize for points of congestion, escape routes etc. If they had surveyed the area manually, they'd likely be captured on CCTV cameras, which would later aid investigators in tracking them down.

I was not specifically talking about 3D vs. 2D, btw.
