#protomaps — Public Fediverse posts

Used #Protomaps and #PMTiles today to generate some high quality wallpapers from city maps. Kinda wanna open source this tool but thinking about packaging and UX

Бесплатные векторные карты на своём хостинге

Векторные карты Protomaps на базе OSM Каждый веб-разработчик знает о OpenStreetMap (OSM), свободной альтернативе Google Maps. Несмотря на всеобщую известность OSM, у некоторых всё-таки возникают вопросы: как сделать веб-карту с открытыми данными OSM, как самостоятельно публиковать карты? На эту тему есть популярные руководства , в том числе по работе с базами PostGIS и запуску тайлсерверов для реализации бесшовных карт OSM. Но есть принципиально иной подход — векторные карты Protomaps , которые обеспечивают более высокое разрешение, настройку внешнего вида и наложение произвольных меток. Они изначально предполагают максимальную простоту в создании своих карт. А главное, что разместить тайлы можно на своём хостинге или в облаке.

You can find my presentation slides on the democratisation of maps with Protomaps at http://slides.cusy.io/protomaps/pydata.html
#PyData #Berlin #Protomaps #GIS

We have added a section on protomaps to our PyViz tutorial. Protomaps makes map visualisations so much easier.

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

#AlphabeticalZürich #maps #protomaps #leaflet #opendata

@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.

Anyone know of a simple way to use #Mapbox default styles with #Protomaps?

new on #protomaps blog - more PMTiles platforms and integrations

https://protomaps.com/blog/pmtiles-more-platforms/

featuring: Maputnik, OpenLayers, AWS CloudFormation, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Caddy

Guides are live for deploying #protomaps with fast Z/X/Y tile endpoints serverlessly on:

AWS with CloudFormation (simpler than the manual steps before!):

https://docs.protomaps.com/deploy/aws

Azure:

Google Cloud:

Storing a bookmark for #protomaps @protomaps this time:

#Spatial #Tiles #MapServer

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.

I’ve got two projects I’m working on over the holiday weekend.

One involves the aforementioned #keyboardio #model100 and trying to send it led instructions over the serial port.

The other one, I’ll be using some of the info in this blog post (https://www.kschaul.com/post/2023/02/16/how-the-post-is-replacing-mapbox-with-open-source-solutions/) to improve some of my #protomaps experiments. Bring on the spatial joins!

Finished and blogged about the Los Angeles soft-story retrofit map I built using entirely #opensource tools (including @maplibre, #protomaps, #planetiler)!

So close to adding this side project to the “done” pile (and putting it in my portfolio 😬)

Used #protomaps and #tippecanoe over the weekend to start generating my own vector #bridge tiles. TBC

An interactive map of the #TranscaucasianTrail: https://hkuril.com/html/en/articles/2023_tct/tct_route.html#map. It’s my first #Leaflet map, using COG topography and vector data from #OpenStreetMap served from a single #ProtoMaps tile, allowing the labels to easily switch between English and Spanish. It’s rendered in two stages to allow labels to float above the route line, which is a #GeoJSON layer. Extra #JavaScript is used for a side panel showing elevation profiles and route descriptions.
