I built a global PMTiles dataset to use with @watmildon's excellent viewer and he was kind enough to make a page specifically for it. The vector tiles contain almost all of OSM, so you can apply arbitrary filters to see the richness of the data anywhere in the world. Here's cycleways around the lakes in Minneapolis, for example: https://watmildon.github.io/TIGERMap/WorldMap/?filter=highway%253Dcycleway#map=14.15/44.94178/-93.30923

[DATA EXPUNGED]
 I wonder if it's possible to use MapCSS to style it (which is better suited for OSM data model). @simon I'm pondering a tool to help OpenStreetMappers where I could take a picture of an opening hours sign and ask some combination of LLM/image detection to give me the OSM opening hours format. ChatGPT is great at taking arbitrary hours text and outputting the correct string, but I wonder if you can suggest the right tool/API(s) for finding the hours in an image. Thanks for the pointers everyone! I ended up putting together a thing that uses OpenAI's API with gpt-4o-mini to suggest OSM tags for a picture: https://github.com/iandees/image-to-osm I'll try putting it up on the web somewhere if there's interest. I spent about 15¢ testing it a few dozen times: It's been a busy few days in the OpenAddresses / All the Places world: * All the Places just went over 5M entries for the first time: https://www.alltheplaces.xyz/ * Nick fixed a bug in OpenAddresses weekly download process that was causing it to stop before re-running all sources. This means all the data was updated for the first time in ~a year. Get your fresh updates at https://batch.openaddresses.io/  After 6 years of working on Snapchat's Snap Map, I was laid off today. If you have any leads for backend, open data, mapping, or other cool computer nerd positions, please let me know!

@ian Oh :( On the other hand, you're smart and experienced, who knows how many great opportunities have been waiting for you to stop working at Snap. |
That's pretty neat, but the cool thing is that the low zoom support means you can zoom out and see a pretty good overview. This really makes Firefox work hard (it's deciding on colors for 100k's of features), but it works. https://iandees.github.io/TIGERMap/docs/WorldMap/?filter=%28color%29%2540user#map=6.45/44.986/-93.331
@ian @watmildon super cool!
@ian this rules! Great work!!
