Google Maps in Your Terminal

The Take
It actually parses vector tiles and renders a searchable, pannable ASCII map — not just an image dump. Useful touches like street-name toggles, aspect-ratio adjustment, and a single-homebrew install make it feel like a lovingly crafted hacker tool; still mostly a novelty, but technically neat and fun to poke at.
