où (French for "where") is a command-line tool that opens an interactive map in
your terminal and displays a location or geometry.
It is built with Bubble Tea, using the tiletea map component, itself based on maprender.
go install github.com/akhenakh/ou@latestOpen the map with a marker at a specific location:
ou -lat 48.8566 -lng 2.3522Display a file's geometry. The format is guessed from its content (GeoJSON, WKT, WKB):
ou -file /path/to/geometry.geojsonOr pipe geometry in on stdin; it's guessed the same way as -file:
cat /path/to/geometry.geojson | ou| Keys | Action |

When viewing a geometry, press d to split the view in half vertically and show
a data panel listing the geometry's metadata — its type, bounding box, computed
area (polygons), number of edges and holes, number of polygons (multipolygons),
length (lines), and any GeoJSON properties — alongside the map.
