Anyone know the story behind this line?
No background checks were performed (regretting).
Was there an issue with someone(s) on the project, or is it a more general reaction to the xz utils fiasco?
I want to use it but unfortunately my city isn’t available for download, probably doesn’t publish the required street address data to search by address. I have to pan and drop a pin to wherever I want to drive to which is a bit of a pain
You can use openstreetmap.org to add to the map, or apps like Street Complete to add data to the things that are already there 👍
Things like street names and buildings are there, but not addresses so I cant just put in 150 Oak Street and get directions.
I don’t exactly have the time or expertise to create an address list for a few thousand parcels and properties. It will probably have to wait until my city makes that data publicly available.
That’s a good read for the history
