Looks neat, but it has a surprising dependency (an npm package) which I can’t actually install right now.

Have you thought about higher–resolution displays using characters such as the quads (“”) or eighths (“”)? Have you considered going whole hog and doing sixels?

re: npm package - a bit of a necessary evil at this point (GeoJSON is much easier to work with than OSM or PBF and that NPM library was the only OSM-to-GeoJSON helper I could find). I definitely want to get rid of that dependency soon.

I had not thought about any of those higher-resolution display options :) Not much experience in terminal display. I'll look into it. Thanks

I understand the aversion to re–implementing such things!

I forgot. RIP unicode.

In general, not bad, but there are some nuances that are described in the previous comment.
