    Ooh, this is fun. Another piece of data is that we have most of what appears to be the zip code, so we can get pretty close to knowing where they are located:

      Someone else with an Illinois licence could probably use that to estimate how long their address that ends with “e Ave” is and narrow it down to fewer than 8 east-west streets in this town of around 12,000.

        Reminds me I just learned about this: overpass-turbo.eu

        GeoGuessrs use it to run queries on OpenStreetMap (even if a chatbot has to write those queries first).

        Worked for something like “show me all houses with the house number 529 in this ZIP Code“. Oh probably saw that here (video)
