At the time of writing this, our map library has grown to over 200 maps. At this scale, every change no matter how small must be applied to every single map. What sounds like a simple commit quickly becomes hours of repetitive, error-prone work. That's why we've adopted a simple rule: if a task needs to be applied to all maps, always use a script.

In this post, we'll share why scripting is essential at scale, how to safely run bulk updates, and how to leverage the MAPS_INFO file to keep your tooling in sync with the latest map list.

Adding new maps to our codebase used to be a tedious, manual process that could take up to 30 minutes or even hours for complex regions like Russia or China. Today, we're thrilled to introduce our new Automated Map Generator, a life-changing Developer Experience (DX) upgrade that reduces this workflow to mere seconds.

Instead of manually copying, pasting, and formatting hundreds of SVG paths and coordinates, this script intelligently parses a source SVG file and automatically generates a fully populated, production-ready TypeScript map file.
