Abstract
We briefly describe TRILEGAL, a TRIdimensional modeL of thE GALaxy, and its more recent developments. Particularly relevant is the recent inclusion of a kinematical module to the code, and the present efforts to provide a more solid calibration of Milky Way parameters based on 2MASS and SDSS data.
