Lets create ascii maps!
Drawing inspiration from pretty maps this code creates map views in the terminal.
The goal is to be able to use this with Overture POI data.
Currently it uses static export from here,
And the US came from here.
This code reads the data and makes some adjustment at the State level.
You can the run the main.py.
This yields:
::....... ::...
: .. ..

You'll need to install - https://github.com/TheZoraiz/ascii-image-converter?tab=readme-ov-file#library-usage
As well as geopandas and matplotlib
Maybe in the future it can be tuned for mapping using - https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/running-go-code-from-python-a65b3ae34a2d
