Wonderful podcast episode with @bdon of @protomaps fame 
This conversation is awesome to get a better understanding of #Maps, the #OpenStreetMap data, running an open source project, and how it all comes together in #Protomaps and #Maplibre 
@tim_salabim I think #Protomaps is worth a mention whenever web mapping is mentioned https://protomaps.com/
It is a tile packaging format you can very cheaply host with a simple file server.
What are some good static storage APIs or CDNs for hosting .pmtiles in the EU? #protomaps
#Protomaps' Update-Politik geht mir massiv auf die Nüsse.
I have a talk in about 12 hours at Mapping USA 2025. It will be about WAMap and the virtues of vector based maps and client side filtering for doing data exploration.
You can also hear me later in the day reminding you to run for the OSM-US Board of Directors… if that’s something you may be interested in.
I hope you can join us! It’s free and all virtual.

Hey #Openstreetmap bubble. Was genau ist der Unterschied zwischen #Protomaps und #Versatiles?
Just published a guide to Security and Privacy with #protomaps:
https://docs.protomaps.com/guide/security-privacy
* How to serve an entire map app from a single origin with a strict Content Security Policy
* eliminating third party data processors for GDPR compliance
* CORS and access control for object storage
Thanks to @NGIZero for supporting this!
This is #Edgemap - running on Raspberry Pi 2W Zero and serving #Protomaps full planet OSM from single 256 GB MicroSD card. How you defend your infrastructure?
My map server. Full planet #OSM on board and served from RPi 2W Zero when needed. Communication over #Meshtastic radios.

The WavyFill symbol has configurable wave height, so it can be used to render peaceful lakes and fierce seas (here shown: La Albufera, just south of Valencia in Spain, using #protomaps vector tiles)

@joost_schouppe I haven't done this so I don't know if it's the easiest, but maybe generating a vector tileset via @protomaps might just do the trick. #protomaps
In today's #gleo news (and hot in for #siglibre2024!): A #ProtoMaps loader plus the new `scalefactorify` symbol!
I don't need to explain protomaps, right? It's the hilbert-curve-packed-vector-tiles standard that's all the rage (see https://protomaps.com/).
The `scalefactorify` decorator (applied here to `StrokeRoad`s) makes a symbol visually bigger or smaller depending on the map's scale, with a factor interpolated according to a supplied scale-factor table.
Everything You Wanted to Know About Vector Tiles (But Were Afraid to Ask) 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/daniel-j-h/diary/404061
I collected my thoughts on vector maps and vector tiles after having spent some time reading the mvt spec for the first time 
Happy year of #OpenStreetMap vector maps! 
Roughly 1/3 done #Rowing the Atlantic on a #Concept2 this year! 
This is either genius or stupid af and I'll only truly know after completing it! 
Map: #OpenStreetMap × #Maplibre × #Protomaps
#Meta is sun-setting their Daylight Distribution in favor of putting their efforts behind #OvertureMaps
https://daylightmap.org/2024/05/03/sunsetting-daylight.html
It makes sense as Meta was a Overture Maps Foundation founding member, together with Amazon, Microsoft, and TomTom.
The Daylight land cover dataset was pretty solid for self-hosted maps with #Maplibre & #Protomaps
I'm giving #Tilemaker (https://tilemaker.org) a go to generate me some #VectorTiles from #OpenStreetMap 
Lovely little self-contained project 
It's able to generate #Protomaps .pmtiles to visualize with #Maplibre 
Getting started is as easy as
docker run -it --rm ghcr.io/systemed/tilemaker:master --help
Solid work there @richardf 
As an experiment, I have published a map of Washington State using the full and complete data dump from OSM. It has a filter functionality to find things based on the tagging and you can now click items to view entities (that's still somewhat buggy).
It's good enough that I can use it to see places to get various flavors of takeout this evening: https://watmildon.github.io/TIGERMap/WAMap/?filter=cuisine%253Dindian%252Cthai%253Btakeaway%253Dyes#map=15.49/47.672529/-122.116197
Hey #OpenStreetMap bubble: What are my options for self-hosting a minimalistic (forward) geocoder?
I'm using #Protomaps and I enjoy not having to run a big Postgres server and associated tooling to get a nice map, but now I'd like to allow my users to find the coordinates for addresses by searching in a simple text field.
Autocomplete would be nice.
#Addok https://addok.readthedocs.io/ seems to be an option, it only needs Redis (or even SQLite), but requires some data preparation.
