An interesting talk at the recent State of the Map Europe 2025 #sotmeu25 was Jochen Topf's Everything Everywhere All at Once on the OSM Spyglass server. There's now an experimental OGF server running at https://spyglass.opengeofiction.net/

It's all about to kick off at #sotmeu25, packed lecture theatre behind.
The Overpass query is run, parsed and transformed into a collection of JSON files by a dedicated server-side script https://github.com/opengeofiction-net/OGF-terrain-tools/blob/master/bin/overpassCacheAirports.pl which is then consumed by our custom MultiMaps fork for embedding in the MediaWiki-based wiki page

The next phase in our focus on aviation mapping (airports, airlines, routes) is live - the airline route map #opengeofiction #imaginarymaps
