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

@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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

After checking out protomaps for the last couple days I created a little example app with phoenix liveview and some GeoJSON.
