The moat's draining because more of this data is becoming commodity.
OpenStreetmap data is quite good. I can run a local instance with all the data and the tile server and a web server in a docker image in maybe ~10 min. Source: did this a few years ago during a particularly boring meeting.
- maxerickson 7y agoWhat do you mean when you say "all the data"? The full planet takes "a while", even on a huge computer: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2pgsql/benchmarks https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2pgsql/benchmarks

The current full planet dump is 84 GB: https://planet.openstreetmap.org/ https://planet.openstreetmap.org/ 8 GB gets you a large region still, depending on how much mapping has been done: http://download.geofabrik.de/ http://download.geofabrik.de/
