All 11.333.878 buildings in the Netherlands

12½ years ago, I made a map of all the buildings in the Netherlands. Unexpectedly, people loved it!
Ever since, I have been wanting to make an updated version of the map. Newer data, higher resolution, more interactive! I never got around to it, until last week: bertspaan.nl/buildings

Screenshot of Mirador IIIF viewer showing a panoramic map of Amesville, Athens County Ohio from 1875, served from a Hugging Face Storage Bucket. The map shows detailed bird's-eye view illustrations of buildings, streets, and surrounding farmland.

The new @hf.co storage Buckets open up the Hub beyond models and datasets.

Example: IIIF image hosting.

With Buckets, just upload static tiles and any IIIF viewer zooms straight from CDN!
