No? What kind of person are you?

I’d like a comparison with Europe. Although from some straight lines, I have the idea that the colours depend on imports quite a bit.

I definitely need a tutorial for this kind of thing ! Let’s say to show the distance to the nearest parking in any area or other OSM entities.

Seems like the image is gone. Do you have it stored on some more persistent storage or any steps how to reproduce it for example for Europe?

@Jakuje Thanks for alerting me. I have fixed it.
