Then you can actually query https://nominatim.org/, which does the (reverese) geocoding.
> the map will be text-only to ensure accessibility.
I wonder how that's done, something like https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapscii ?

Project mention: Optimizing Large-Scale OpenStreetMap Data with SQLite | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-06
Sometime ago, I had to extract a large amount of data from OSM and found the process harder than it should have been. Similar to how you shrunk the size by 50% after removing unnecessary tags. Ended up creating a python package 'earth-osm' (https://github.com/pypsa-meets-earth/earth-osm) that makes things more intuitive. Always wanted to push the data into a database but never got around to that....

Oddly enough I built an API. A few years ago that does exactly that, using timezone polygons derived from OpenStreetMap: https://timezones.datasette.io/timezones/by_point?longitude=...
-
OpenPianosMap
The goal of this project is to create an open source map of accessibles pianos. Data will be hosted on OpenStreetMap
-
There are a couple of ways. I've done it by downloading an extract from https://download.geofabrik.de/, using GDAL (ogr2ogr) to convert it to GPKG, then opening it in QGIS and friends. https://github.com/osmzoso/osm2sqlite is another option, which I've never used.
