This comment is ridiculous. France's economy is bigger than 90 % of "unregulated" countries.

European regulations help protect from USA's tech monopolies. French labor laws and social security and state-funded scientific schools helped build one of the most competent international AI scientist generation.

All of europe got crushed by the US on the domain of internet. "Regulated" or not.

Citroën missed the transition to electric. They're getting crushed by Renault.

Scaleway is great. Never had any problem. Has an open-source startup program. https://cartes.app proudly runs on Scaleway.

These energy figures are gigantic. It's getting absurd.

Very interesting !

About the map itself, here's a comparison with our own base style on the location in Scotland of the last capture.

Normal style : https://cartes.app/#16.13/57.290344/-6.171279 Outdoor style : https://cartes.app/?style=outdoors&terrain=oui#16.13/57.2903...

It's interesting to see the wide variations that can be designed. May styling is choosing between an infinity of possibilities !

Yes, and it's programmatic.

We're also re-coding an OSM-colored style in this same typescript base.

I don't have a job. But yes, 80 % of people or more have a job. Please talk about their presence on Linkedin and how they force others to stay.

We extract the og image from the website. https://codeberg.org/cartes/web/src/branch/master/app/getOgI...

> Also, I noticed the map is at least a few days behind in my area, how long does it take for you to get updates?

Yes, we have a double problem : first, the planet dump is not available every day. Then, our tilemaker script runs every week.

Hopefully ! Without any account though, that's too much work. Except maybe for the future paid offers.

Google will actively fight against that. It would break their monopoly.

Well, Google has the most popular OS. Tomtom is not far from being the OS of lots of cars. Here, too. It's owned by Daimler/BMW/Audi (sold for 3 billions). Apple has the second most used mobile OS.

So yes, for these huge actors, it's quite easy to create congestion data.

Good question. If one strong national actor (map app, for instance) could publish its live dataset, without even mixing with others, this could already be used.

Authorities could pay them for this service.

You forgot the massive user base of Google. Users through comments are the first to tell Google that the POI changed. And shop owners are often the first users to worry.

Cool ! It's fully open source. Quite a complex TS style https://codeberg.org/cartes/web/src/branch/master/app/styles...

And its Tilemaker profile to generate the tiles : https://codeberg.org/cartes/serveur/src/branch/master/tilema...

Yes, known bug, we've discovered it recently. Here's how to unbreak the map. https://codeberg.org/cartes/web/issues/2095

Can you try this one ? Though not as flashy, it's a step away from most OSM styles.

https://cartes.app. Based on OSM of course, but OSM is just a geographical database, with lots of incomplete UIs built on top by the community. Cartes is one of them, we're trying to make it complete and modern :)

We need global open congestion data. At least on the european scale.

It's important so that alternatives to Google Maps and Waze (Google) can emerge.

To create congestion data, one needs to own an OS with location tracking, or be an international mobile network. Won't happen.
