OKAY, I'm reasonably happy with the current version. I now have a "progress map" on AlphabeticalZürich, available at https://www.alphabeticalzurich.ch/map.html

The base tiles are @protomaps, with an extra dash of Leaflet (https://leafletjs.com/), an export of my progress spreadsheet as CSV, and some "let's throw some Zürich opendata at the geometry problem".

And a non-zero amount of work to integrate it as I wanted (including "how do I avoid trivially leaking my API key"), but I *think* it's reasonably clean. It would probably warrant a proper blog post, if only to document things for myself, but now I need a break (... since at least few hours if I'm being honest with myself.)

But there, I'm happy - now I need to update the spreadsheet and the real-world data below it :D

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

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?

Storing a bookmark for #protomaps @protomaps this time:

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.

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

https://daylightmap.org/2023/10/11/landcover.html

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
