Is there something like parking lot map for other countries? It'd be cool to see stuff around my area

Also, ofc the only plants in that image are grass and trees :'(

Based on OSM data, so can be spotty depending on the local scene, also foregoes on street parking but it gets you close enough and it's free

Thank you for that. I'm just realising how "tame" my area is with parking in comparison to places in the US. There are new ones being built though, so it's actively getting as bad as it is there

This was the query I ran if anyone wants to reuse it

It did pick up some street parking, but only the ones that had it in the middle not the sides (like the ones where there's a bus lane on the left)
