Crazy idea for a browser extension: Every mention of a street name is detected and linked to that place in your map tool of choice. "street name x street name" gets detected and is linked to that intersection.
Would be gold for politicians and other people working on urbanization and regulations. And just engaged citizens reading news articles with no freaking map for some effing reason!
This is cool

Open Infrastructure Map
Open Infrastructure Map is a view of the world's infrastructure mapped in the OpenStreetMap database. This data isn't exposed on the default OSM map, so there built Open Infrastructure Map to visualise it.

…We live in capitalism. Running their infrastructure must be expensive.
It’s the asymmetry that pisses me off.
If you have money to accelerate us off a cliff, you get full access to all the toys. If you’re trying to map the path away from the cliff and have no money, here’s a brick wall you can talk to
@urlyman coincidentally I just came back on line motivated by wondering if there exist repositories of #satellite #map tiles of the planet going back 10 or so years, that are not pay-walled.
but your 2nd post here reminds me of the "good? old days" of google ... when web-pages were becoming all adverts with animated gifs and every page looked like driving into a US town. then google came along and suddenly there were just these little one-liners of pertinent info to click, kindly labelled "_ad_". dumb name by a non-dumb corp. playing a non-dumb game.

I'm still obsessed with the idea of finding a #map designed for humans instead of cars.
Take these screenshots from Brussels: in the default #openstreetmap view, the highway is big and red.
If you remove it, as I tried with MapTiler, the area is simply grey: not for humans, not for bikes, so there is no need for it to be clearly visible. The result has less clutter and it's more pleasant.
Are there any map services designed for humans, where car infrastructure is simply hidden?

#map The oldest map ever drawn, dating back to 9,000 years and discovered in Jordan. The ‘Jibal al-Khashabiyeh engraved stone’ depicts a ‘desert kite’, a hunting device used in the Middle East during the Neolithic. The maps was drawn on a 92 kg limestone block nearly 80 cm high using a stone tool. The block was recovered in 2015, and the results of the analyses were published in 2023 in the journal PLOS ONE
