Compiling placenames.bin

This step extracts bounding boxes for populated places from the OS Open Names dataset, which is available for free download: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-government/products/open-map-names

go run ./cmd/save-gob/... opname_csv_gb.zip ./pkg/placenames/placenames.bin

I have included a the compiled extract in this repository so you can skip this step.

We use mule to embed the gob data in the compiled binaries:

go get github.com/wlbr/mule

Make sure the mule command is on you PATH before running go generate.

mudir -p bin
go generate ./...
go build -o bin ./...
