Open maps is pretty great, at least if we are talking the python module. It's a large mapping database that can give you pretty much any info you want for countries with public source maps.
I use it to calculate distances between points for a transportation program I wrote. There is a ton of utility in it but I have to say what OP did was pretty impressive. I would have not thought to use the data like that (if I played Minecraft).
That's the definition of geodesic, shortest distance on a curved surface.
> Geopy can calculate geodesic distance between two points using the geodesic distance or the great-circle distance
I know nothing about coding, so this is already above my pay grade. I may have to start learning Python now, haha. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment :)
An hour back and forth with GPT4 could easily have you understand what the above means.
2 hours more and it could have you understand the general concept of a working python code it has spat out that solves your problem.
You might not be able to understand it all but for your use case, it could have a working code in no time.
Look up Google collabs and guides on youtube, that's a free, quick and easy environment to run the actual python code in.
I've made a lot of stuff this way that I never thought I could.
Unless you already have the correct answers to compare with, I would have a hard time trusting code that comes straight from GPT. It can definitely be a good starting point, but it does make mistakes.
You're definitely right. You can't really code with it without knowing to code.
The "working" code need to be guided and redone 20 times from the first draft.
But for his use case? That's easy enough and require simple code that chatgpt can do without major errors.
I've made several API implementations with chatgpt and they work.
There are a lot of neat resources out there to help you. I'd start with Harvard's CS50x, then maybe do a python coding BootCamp. It's a simple language, but it's useful to understand what you're doing and CS50x will help you start thinking like a coder.
It can but it's not easy, if you want to know why, look up the "travelling salesman" problem, of which this is a real life example. Google has invested vast amounts of computing resources to create the maps experience they offer you.
I don't know for sure but I imagine it's possible to get api access for a fee and you could then write a simple script that just asks Google for the directions.
I think it's still non-trivial to calculate... You can probably get pretty good results with heuristics, but to *prove* that a particular path is the best (by time, distance, whatever) is time consuming.
I'm an OSM contributor and programmer.
OSM used all the time to calculate the driving distance. While the database is "free", the API freeness varies depending on your use case. A low amount of 100 can probably be done for free.
The quality is a bit variable. I'll assume you're in the US. In the US, OSM is very good at road completeness, but it doesn't have all the addresses (some areas are great, others have none). That said, you also can add 100 buildings and addresses in about a day after about 15 minutes of training.
Amazon and Lyft use it, so it can't be that bad.
You don’t need Python at all, you can use QGIS (or ArcGIS if you don’t want to use the FOSS software) to do pretty much anything with OSM data or DEM tiles etc.
I use it for Cities Skylines to get 1m resolution height maps and matching overlays. It’s pretty cool!
I like this comment a lot. Because wheter you do for real or not, the first thing I thought: "That sounds really good."
Hope you have a good day, week and year. Give Ronathan a hug.
It is a mathematical thing where every small part of something works like a flat 2d plane, but if you zoom out, it gets weird.
Eg. If you are zoomed in enough, the earth does look flat, but if you star at the north Pole, walk 100 miles in a straight line, turn 90° to the left, then walk another 100 miles, then turn left again, then walk 100 miles, you end up at the north Pole. A triangle with 3 straight edges, but the internal angles add up to more than 90°. This proves the earth cannot be flat on a big scale, even if every step feels flat at the time.
Wouldn't that be true anywhere on earth? I've only seen it used at the north pole in the context of riddles like "100m south, then 100m east, then 100m north", but in theory if you're turning exactly 90* the curvature is reasonably similar all over isn't it?
Yes, it would be the same, but the north pole is generally used as an example since it is an intuitive point on a sphere (like object) that everyone can recognise. The point is walking in straight lines and only taking two right angle turns to make what would appear to be parallel lines intersect. A pole is just a convenient start/end point, but we could also go with, say, the city of Cheyenne (also helpful given that Wyoming is flatter than most pool tables).
> Wouldn't that be true anywhere on earth?
The effects of curvature are everywhere, yes.
I also think, the way it's stated, it's not actually true. It'd be true if you travelled East or West after your 90 degree turn, but traveling East or West anywhere but the equator is a curved path -- walking straight would slowly deviate to the South in his example. So your second 90 degree turn wouldn't be back to facing North, and you'd be farther than 100 miles from the North pole.
It works if you walked from the North pole to the equator, then did your 90 degree turn, since then your straight path would stay East or West.
You are correct; the question is usually stated "where can you go x distance south, then y distance east or west, then x distance north and end up exactly where you started"
Nice work! You should look up geocraft by Chris Gutteridge (cgutteridge on github). does the same with added lidar.
unless you ARE Chris, in which case - hi Chris :)
This is the kind of tech I would have expected in RTS’s and other strategy games by now. Imagine if you could do an XCOM like game in real small city street, or build and fight through a city and the surrounding landscape.
Instead we are going more and more to completely symmetrical games because 1v1 is more important than creativity and learning the layout on the fly.
I've been waiting for a game where the map is an entire country, and its like battlefield. I wish we could do 1,000 vs 1,000 players or something like that.
Planetside 2 managed that.
Now it did have maps a bit more designed for it with specific buildings at some distance and a rendering system that made it so they basically had to load one object and then could copy that a thousand times on your screen which is going to be a bit more difficult when you copy real world building dimensions (or approximations) into it. But with all the new tech we have gotten it might be feasible enough.
Not an entire country though. I think that if you use it on a few city blocks you can easily have 1000 vs 1000 player battles and still have trouble finding your opponents.
There is a little zombie base building colony sim coming out soon that does basically this, I made an outpost out of the mall near my house and raided my crib for food, I forgot the name of it but it was neat, although the game needed alot of work.
yeah, but everything is flat and that includes the gameplay. I would love for it to get more complex and challenging, but i guess it's going to take a whole while if ever.
Arma 3 is like that, to a point. The Altis base terrain is a lightly modified copy of a real island, Lemnos. Buildings aren't matching due to the sheer amount of unique assets it would take, but the general landscape, roads, building locations is. Some players are visiting the island on holidays lol, planning to do so myself.
This is pretty hot and love to see geospatial work - nicely done. I did something similarly in Unreal using Cesium
https://cesium.com/learn/unreal/unreal-photorealistic-3d-tiles/
Love the idea from time to time I see peole do this, hope you finish it.
Would be nice to drop longitude, latitude and a radius to pregenerate a map to play in my town minecraft.
Or do you try to do it even "live" in game?
Thanks! It's a software I'm making, still at early stages of development
I can pass to the software the border coordinates of the desired area, the scale of the map, the details I want to be in the map (vegetation, rivers, lakes, coast, buildings, roads..) and it automatically generates the world + all the waypoints of cities, villages to be used in JourneyMap
I do maps for commission at the moment
We already have that in the BTE Modpack. Just without the building heights since thats highly inacurrate everywhere outside the bigger cities and to make building easier
Someone on one of the 3d printing subs recently posted their printed version of downtown Chicago but they said they ended up modeling most of the buildings in the map. Making this work would be sick.
I understand, but getting the general building shape does save a lot of time. Iirc they use world edit and tools to quickly replace patterns or blocks, so having the blank building facade and doing the design from there is actually a reasonable way, i think
We already have that in the BTE Modpack. Just without the building heights since thats highly inacurrate everywhere outside the bigger cities and to make building easier
Won't lie, I'd absolutely love to see my city in a 1:1 scale in Minecraft! Just getting to start off from my childhood home, and walk the in-game route to the city centre etc - it would be so cool!
I tried importing a heat map of elevation of my town once a long time ago but it ended up being super chaotic and jagged everywhere. I remember trying to smooth it out by reducing the elevation scale and removing some bounds (like an old quary that goes super deep) but don't think I was ever happy with it.
A beautiful example of the difference between worldspace that is largely algorithmically defined and one that is effectively a rasterised map at block level.
Since you're already manipulating the worldspace so much, I wonder if there'd be scope for data storage optimisation.
It is very impressive! Well done!
Similarly, in France, the IGN (National Institute of Geographic Information, a public institution) offers a service called "Minecraft à la carte" on its website where you can select a 5x5 km² area and convert it into a Minecraft map. It supports cities, forests, fields, etc. The service opened in 2016 and is still running today. However, it doesn't seem updated as it is generating maps for Minecraft 1.12.
Here is a video from the IGN that illustrates it : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl\_MExz52jA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl_MExz52jA)
Wow that’s super cool. Is this something I could pull off with limited programming knowledge? I’m pretty good at modding/running random 3rd party stuff I just don’t know any languages
I've had to pull this data for architectural context models.
Easiest bet is using twinmotions context tool, export to data smith, bring into unreal then export from unreal to what ever format you need it in.
This is pretty cool. Are you planning to release this on GitHub or so? I didn't play Minecraft for years myself. But it would be cool knowing that this tool can be used by others too if possible.
Someone needs to do this to Fallout. But I imagine skinning all those buildings would be time consuming.
A pipe dream, but a fallout that covers an entire map area like the Southwest US built to scale would be awesome. But, then, I love to explore more than questing.
How does it handle hilly terrain? In my job, we base it on building elevation but you still end with buildings clipping through the terrain at strange angles. Looks nice though
I am always so impressed by people that are able to do this kinda "crosswalking" with data - OSM is cool, but I barely understand how to get it to run on Java.
Totally uneducated in that field, seems impressive.

Can it be used to calculate driving distances between 2 addresses? I have a list of a ~100 addresses I need to do that for at work. Also, is it free?
[удалено]
Does this actually give driving distance? I'm not familiar with osmnx, but the code *looks* like it's just straight point to point.
That's the definition of geodesic, shortest distance on a curved surface. > Geopy can calculate geodesic distance between two points using the geodesic distance or the great-circle distance
That is straight line distance.
I know nothing about coding, so this is already above my pay grade. I may have to start learning Python now, haha. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment :)

Its not a Traveling Salesman problem when the order of the 100 addresses is fixed. But yeah, you can just API query Google for it and fill an excel.

Its vector data, so it translates into geometric formations like minecraft blocks.
Super
And yet here I am living in a hole in the ground with my pet chicken, Ronathan. It’s a good life.
I hope Ronathan is well this day.
In Minecraft? Or real life?
why not both?
Yes.

The world disappears after certain distance.
Nice work! You should look up geocraft by Chris Gutteridge (cgutteridge on github). does the same with added lidar. unless you ARE Chris, in which case - hi Chris :)
Really interesting! Didn't know about it, seems to not be updated since years
Yep, he's been focusing on the day job. code is free to fork and adapt however you wish, and he's always open to pull requests :)
That asshole [wrote it in PERL](https://github.com/cgutteridge/geocraft)!? What a madman
That is the point in which you start from scratch xD
Start in Scratch, you say?
perl should be very efficient for it tbh, although I understand it's not as popular choice nowadays

Any chance this can be used to make maps for FPS games running on Unreal? Asking for myself.
I'll do some research on it
This may be the solution for BTE
We already have that in the BTE Modpack. Just without the building heights since thats highly inacurrate everywhere outside the bigger cities and to make building easier
Building the software is only half the work the other half is communicating with their incompetent staff
I tried helping with my region's BTE group a couple years back. What's the deal with their staff?
This was step 1 in building the matrix. Here we go!
imagine your small town map
You can ask for that lol
Can you export it as a 3D file?
Not at the moment as the work was focused on the making of a Minecraft World, but it can be done, for sure!
I've been searching everywhere how to "slice" a part of a 3d map to print it, but no luck. this would be sweet
Someone on one of the 3d printing subs recently posted their printed version of downtown Chicago but they said they ended up modeling most of the buildings in the map. Making this work would be sick.
Yup I saw that post. Crazy dedication. But since I suck at modeling I'm trying to find something I can export and edit. Also I'm lazy
Ive done this at work. I used twinmotion to get the context, export to data smith, into unreal, export as an .STL file then 3D print it.
That's too many words I don't know, but I'll Google it! Thank you!
Just a small town map...
Living in a mincraft world...
r/BuildTheEarth ? Pretty cool
Nope, it's a different project/software
Why not try to collaborate? Afaik they don't have similar tooling

This is awesome! Well done
Impressive. Whats the scale?
1:1 scale
You can officially stalk peoples homes in minecraft.
Is one block 1m*1m?
Yes, 1m * 1m * 1m, the resolution is 1m also vertically
Can this be done in unreal?
I've been asked this more than once, I think I'll consider working on it
Won't lie, I'd absolutely love to see my city in a 1:1 scale in Minecraft! Just getting to start off from my childhood home, and walk the in-game route to the city centre etc - it would be so cool!
Are you planning on integrated terrain elevation, still a very good thing you made here
Of course, 3DEP DEM data at 1m resolution are already integrated into the map, as well as Land Cover data to define biomes and vegetation
Sooo you've built your own metaverse of Earth? :-D
That's the goal of the project lol
Looks awesome
I tried importing a heat map of elevation of my town once a long time ago but it ended up being super chaotic and jagged everywhere. I remember trying to smooth it out by reducing the elevation scale and removing some bounds (like an old quary that goes super deep) but don't think I was ever happy with it.
[удалено]
I was about to ask about that project. How far has it gotten?
Any stomach issues from ingesting that much data?
[удалено]
A map I made is typically 46000x46000 and it weight about 35-40gb
Beautiful numbers 👌
A beautiful example of the difference between worldspace that is largely algorithmically defined and one that is effectively a rasterised map at block level. Since you're already manipulating the worldspace so much, I wonder if there'd be scope for data storage optimisation.
Is there any way this could be done with something like Dungeon Alchemist?
This is totally incredible! My daughter loves building stuff in Minecraft and I can't wait to show her this.
So the next steps are to add ChatGPT NPCs
How did you do this? I want to make my town in minecraft
I thought this was City Skylines 2
Lol, nice Baltimore
that’s a lot of work geez
> sideways Alleys? Pretty sure. Look great. =)
Worked with openStreetMap a lot for my job. This actually interests me a lot! would love to know more about the process
Fantastic, do you have any open source code on how to do this?
How do you do commissions?
What city is this? Almost looks like Baltimore
It is!

It's pretty complicated, I can confirm, it's been two months that I've been developing the software
I don't want to come off as too much or anything BUT CAN I PLEASE READ YOUR SOURCE CODE!?? THIS IS AMAZING!!!
That looks very clever. Do you have to dig into those buildings to create an interior? 😊 (I don't play Minecraft)
At the moment the buildings are empty inside, but in the future they will have some sort of floors
Awesome!
Now we just need an AI model trained on nice minecraft city maps to automatically "build" the world based on the data.
This is pretty cool. Are you planning to release this on GitHub or so? I didn't play Minecraft for years myself. But it would be cool knowing that this tool can be used by others too if possible.
Now full it up with cars using underground rails with create, and turn each building into their real looks
teach me master
Someone needs to do this to Fallout. But I imagine skinning all those buildings would be time consuming. A pipe dream, but a fallout that covers an entire map area like the Southwest US built to scale would be awesome. But, then, I love to explore more than questing.
Would this potentially work with fantasy/sci-fi map data?
That's a cool project. Nice work
Is something like this used by the people building the Earth in minecraft? If not this seems extremely helpful.
For what it's worth, Infection Free Zone is doing this and it's pretty cool. Check it out on Steam, they had a free prologue at one point.
The universe is a masterpiece 😍
Sick
Dude I hope you’re part of the build the earth in minecraft team
Now do this in GTA5 and I’ll drive around the world 🥹
> Realistic cities > has uneven and unleveled roads Yeah that tracks actually
How does it handle hilly terrain? In my job, we base it on building elevation but you still end with buildings clipping through the terrain at strange angles. Looks nice though
BTE project is doing same but manually, with more detail ofc.
Awesome! It's got that Inception limbo vibe!
This is so fucking cool. How’d you do it lol
Game changer
Wow how did u do that
Dude this is cool and really impressive.
I mean, you could potentially use an ai and some har database with pictures to reconstruct the buildings
It's all fun and games until you hear bells
That's insane, any details on the code how you did it?
Did you use the mine craft FME plugin for this? I’ve been thinking of trying it when I get the time
I read something like this in a book once. It was mostly about pizza delivery though.
Have a GitHub or other to follow for updates?
Mirror's edge Minecraft edition
Do the buildings have an interior? This is extremely amazing
The buildings are empty inside at the moment, but in the future they will have floors and other details
A place for you and all your friends.
Coordinate with the Lost Cities mod people for something epic.
oh nice baltimore
Hasn't the Build The Earth team been doing this for a while now?
Bleak and soulless, thats a city alright
How detailed are buildings apart from their height? Are you able to make out specific balconies? Anyways that’s really cool!
> ingest Looks like this is what the role of humans is going to be in the ai world, feed it data.
Better city than in the Philippines
Realistic cities? All I see are some white blocks.
It probably doesnt matter for the small scale but over large distances how does it account for the curvature of the earth?
Å900i
Super cool work! Perhaps do you have a github profile where i could check the project out?
Must be an immersive experience to explore and build within these detailed virtual landscapes
I am always so impressed by people that are able to do this kinda "crosswalking" with data - OSM is cool, but I barely understand how to get it to run on Java.
Thats pretty cool, do you plan to do anything with the building or keep them like that?
