Saw this on HackerNews via @hn50@social.lansky.name

My Mastodon post about it & @watmildon@en.osm.town’s reply linking to OpenStreetMap’s documentation with an example to find banks far away from police stations

    OSM can definitely find you a bank near a freeway ramp, but it can also find you a bank near a creek to make an inflatable boat getaway. What it can’t do is arrange for decoys to confuse the police while you eacape.

    The inflatable boat robber was ultimately caught and sentenced a year later.
