Say hi to my grandpa
The family farm that got turned into a cemetery. My grandpa was allowed to pick his own plot, so he picked a beautiful hillside he used to plough. It is now nestled between a state highway and an interstate highway.
There’s a plot for me, if anyone cares to ship me over there when I croak.
I’ve been struggling with openstreetmap data (not this – this is Google maps). Does anyone have experience with it?
In theory, I love it – open source mapping that I can download and use without licensing. In practice, you have to download the whole world if you want to slice it up yourself, or ask a third party to do it for you. Downloading out of the app only gives you xml text data (as far as I can tell).
More learning stuff!
