There it is. Xmas came early this year. Thank you so much to ICEYE. The beloved Old Town of Tallinn, and the home to a million memories I've made here over the years. You can't see my flat, but I don't want to push it at the free samples kiosk.

24 datasets are now supported out of the box with the GeoParquet Downloader plug-in for QGIS. It only downloads what your map needs, potentially saving 100s of GBs of bandwidth.

This is an OpenStreetMap-based tutorial: tech.marksblogg.com/layercake-open…

Special thanks to @opencholmes for getting so many changes in on Friday evening.

This plug-in has been developed by numerous GIS-centric programmers over the past few years and probably has a few thousand regular users at this point.

I use it on a regular basis, and if you follow my feed, you'll probably have a use case or two for it as well.
