I wanted to see the bigger picture. Not street level — country level. How does Poland's railway network compare to Germany? Where are motorways being built right now? What does an entire country's tram network look like in one view?
I couldn't find a tool that showed me that. So I built RailsMaps, then FreakMaps.
I'm a infrastructure enthusiast. I follow railway and motorway projects in Poland obsessively — proposals, timelines, what's under construction, what's just political noise. OSM reflects this accurately enough, and the community behind it is remarkable.
FreakMaps is where I put everything else. Motorways, cities, connectivity, safety — things I'm curious about, visualized the way I want to see them.
