In the world of mapping, what are we most interested in building?

What would be a well scoped project that we can complete in a reasonably scoped block of time?

If we were interested in developing a vector tile format, the format should permit both routing and rendering.

Should the tile format also provide search?

- Reverse index
Geocoding / Reverse Geocoding ?

Should we even use vector tiles?

Alternatively, we could structure the data in a way that any arbitrary viewport can draw quickly enough as-is.

Should the tile size and unit be larger?

Baking tiles for the planet would be much faster if we target a max zoom of 12 or 10.
A 50-100 MiB tile would take several seconds to download, but it will still load quickly, and the cached tile can still be quick to work with.
