You're on public property, you have nothing to worry about. Though
some people seem to think there is something inherently suspicious
about walking about at odd hours (like the middle of the night)... I
got stopped by the local cops in Kingston once while walking about
late at night (not mapping though), doing nothing bad... would never
happen in Toronto though, it's a 24 hour city.
