Summary

The author of the text is playing with the new Google BigQuery connector for their mapping platform, CARTO, which allows seamless import of OSM features into their maps using pure SQL and no local downloading. They started by querying the OpenStreetMap public dataset in BigQuery, then saved the query results as a personal dataset in their account, and finally queried this dataset from CARTO's BigQuery connector to import 10,000 Dutch bridges onto their map with remarkable speed. The author is excited about the potential of this feature and invites readers to get started with the BigQuery Connector beta version available for CARTO Enterprise users.
