Fetching accurate, up-to-date geographic data
Unlike the original repository which was manually maintained, this project automatically fetches data from the Overpass API, ensuring accuracy and regular updates. The Overpass API provides direct access to OpenStreetMap data, allowing us to query for all settlements in Libya with their precise coordinates and multilingual names.
