Overpass API is an incredible data source. We used pydeck and Blender to visualize the frequency of various OSM features (aka categories) in Hungary.
overpy is a nice package which let you query the Overpass API. First, we aggregated the data on a grid and used Blender to build a 3D mesh. Since we are JavaScript dummies, we used Babylon.js to embed the mesh into a simple HTML page.
We are into geospatial search. Uber’s h3 library is a handy geoindexing tool that is using a hexagonal grid system. We wanted to make an interactive map that shows the aggregated data on a hexagonal grid. Deck.gl developers made us green with envy, but we found pydeck so now we can make interactive deck.gl-based maps too. We were luck, we could achieve our goal using only Python 😀
Stay tuned, more to come soon!
