Why does General Availability mean that if you want access you have to pay to get access? A silver member of Overture Maps and a silver member of some Unix foundation means $10 000 to gain access...not for single coders on Windows machines...sigh

Do you? Did you try https://docs.overturemaps.org/getting-data/ ? (I didn't, yet, so I don't know; for now, I'm happy with daylightmap, but that is going to sunset).

No I haven't tried AWS...but thanks for the info. I have an S2 account, but slightly wary of AWS...and I don't think they are really 'free'. Also my PC is big enough, CPU and SSD, to handle all the data I need to process.

The whole point of the project is to make this data free rather than $20+ dollars per 1000 API requests. You don't have to become a member to get the data. The membership is just if you want to sponsor Overture Maps and to contribute to decision making or data ingestion.

Being on Windows also doesn't matter. You can still download some or all of the data and host it on your machine.
