## What it is
A web application that renders every road in any city at once as an interactive visualization, using data from OpenStreetMap. It includes a scripting API for building custom programs on top of the rendered city scenes.

## Use cases
- visualize all roads in a city
- create generative art from street maps
- export city road network images
- script custom visualizations over city road data
- explore urban street layouts interactively

## When to choose
- you want a quick, beautiful rendering of a city's entire road network in the browser
- you want to programmatically manipulate or extend city road visualizations via a scripting API

## When to avoid
- you need to render extremely large areas with millions of road segments, which may crash the browser
- you need offline or non-OpenStreetMap map data

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, web-scraping, graphics
- domain: data-visualization, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: openstreetmap, overpass-api, webgl, generative-art, geospatial, maps, web-server, javascript
