https://overturemaps.org/ released an astonishing GIS dataset yesterday that includes 60m "place of interest" listings (businesses, attractions etc) under a VERY permissive license

It's 8GB of data and the quality from an initial spot-check seems to be very high. I wrote about how I've been exploring it so far here:

Attention! I recently learned that the behaviour of lying flat out on the belly with arms and legs spread out that some animals do, often to cool off, by radiating heat into the cooler ground, is called "splooting." I personally have been calling it "going full rug", but I guess splooting is also hilarious. So here's a red panda splooting, in case you need a demonstration. #RedPanda
