That, and OSM helps you find things other than retail outlets.

Are you suggesting OSM has better point-of-interest search than Google Maps? I love OSM, but this doesn't match my experience at all. Can you provide a bit more detail, maybe some examples of searches that OSM has better data for than Google?

Very cool, I recently wrote a map tiler that runs on AWS lambda and supports real-time tiling at any zoom level and real-time reprojection. Planning to open source it soon.

That's what I thought originally - similar to Mapnik. But I've downloaded it and can't see any way to work from raw osm data.

The base is Openmaptiles ( https://openmaptiles.org ), to build from osm data you'd need to spin the infrastructure from docker. I posted the link to maptiler because in other threads people were looking for a simpler cloud instance (I'm at the sotm conference and they presented it)
