Mapscii is a terminal-based geographic interface and vector map renderer. It allows users to view and explore geographic map data and points of interest directly within an xterm-compatible console using ASCII and Braille characters.
The project functions as a vector tile map client capable of fetching and styling geographic layers from public or private sources. It also serves as an MBTiles map viewer, enabling the exploration of geographic data stored in local files for offline use.
The tool provides keyboard-driven navigation for zooming and panning across coordinates, along with the ability to apply custom visual themes and style specifications to map layers. It includes capabilities for identifying specific landmarks and points of interest based on geographic coordinates.
