I want to make a desktop map application of my city, kinda like Paradox Interactive’s games.
My city is 280 km^2, and I would like it at a street level detail.
I want to be able to just overlay multiple layers of different maps.
What I have in mind is displaying predicted tram locations, purchasing power maps, and pretty much any information I can find on one map, and combining these at will, with a reasonable speed (and I would much prefer it to be seamless, like in a game, and not displaying white spots at the edges while it is loading)
Autocad Map 3D is also something you want to look into, as it’s used exactly for this purpose (I almost do this as a job). For speed though, you need quite a capable machine.

Does anyone know of some toolset for such?

OpenStreetMap provides data that can be used more widely than the Google data.
Google Maps (which, I think Google Earth was folded into, but in case it wasn’t you actually want Google Earth).
Alternatively, if you want your own app, look into Open Street Map and their tools.
