I really enjoy the exploration but I really wonder why people still use Mercator for data viz? Eg Greenland is not the size of Africa...

This was great, thank you for sharing.

The dataset claims there are significantly more Citibank locations than McDonalds worldwide which I don’t think can be correct?

It also lists over 56,000 Wildberries worldwide but a quick Google search shows they are a large online retailer. I wonder what is going on with the brand POIs…

Thank you! This was a good intro to using duckdb for me with easily relatable content and cool maps.
