These POIs appear to come with a permissive license too [1].

> 1.2. This agreement does not impose any restriction on a Data Recipient’s use, modification, or sharing…

Be sure to read the rest of the license and as always, follow the attribution requirements and licenses of open map data sources.

Yes it does: CDLA. A big deal, we hope it unlocks lots of new creations.

`python3 -m pip install -U overturemaps` (as specified in the README) -> "ERROR: No matching distribution found for overturemaps"

> ERROR: Ignored the following versions that require a different python version: 0.1.0 Requires-Python <4.0,>=3.11; 0.2.0 Requires-Python <4.0,>=3.11; 0.3.0 Requires-Python <4.0,>=3.11

So the new 0.3.0 requires at least Python 3.11, which seems excessively high, probably expecting the use of Conda (PackagesNotFoundError) or Nix (No packages found).

Or simply not Ubuntu 22.04? You could also install new Python via conda, then overturemaps with pip.

Just updated to min Python version 3.8. We didn't actually intend for folks to use it just yet but it's simple enough.

Surprising how much useful geographic information can be had from some of the larger LLMs.

I frequently use ChatGPT with GPT-4 and Code Interpreter for little GIS experiments. Having it generate a CSV or SQLite database with a bunch of cities each with an accurate-enough latitude and longitude is pretty convenient.

"POI" expands to what, Place of Interest?
Re:A POI Database in One Line by dbreunig on Friday April 19, 2024 @05:13PM (#40091961)
Point of Interest.

I guess any number of piped commands are “just one line” if you never type a carriage return…

Any amount of carriage returns would still amount to one line. A newline character is needed.

Unless you're on classic Mac OS if we are being pedantic :-)
