Description

Overture Maps is a newer project that wouldn't have been available during original Soundscape's lifetime, certainly not when data sources were originally being evaluated. How do the features compare with OpenStreetMap?

https://overturemaps.org/

Instructions are provided for using DuckDB to query cloud-hosted Parquet files -- is that something that could be done directly from the app, such that we wouldn't need to run our own DB servers?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Overture Maps data format and explore how to query cloud hosted Parquet files from an iOS app (using DuckDB or similar). Compare features with OpenStreetMap to understand potential integration into Soundscape.
