This is because everything is in digital form. Essentially all government systems are digital-first, and for the citizen, often digital-only. If the data is lost, there may be no paper records to restore everything from land registry, busin

Thanks for the compliment! Definitely drop us a line. Our v2 response structure is still undergoing some iteration, especially around the particulars of labeling, so this may be intended (depending on the specific query), but we can certain

That's just not the case. For a good geocoder, you need many other data sources (which can be open). OpenAddresses ( https://openaddresses.io/ ) is an example of a vital dataset to delivering anything of any quality. Ret

Since this article was written, we've (Stadia Maps) also launched and made significant progress with our own Geocoding API: https://stadiamaps.com/products/geocoding-search/ It was originally based on Pelias,

The green card system is already broken (this is pretty universally agreed). The notion that receiving a degree in the US—which often entails a large degree of cultural assimilation—doesn't give you a strong argument for being able to

Switzerland, Init7 10/10 Gbps for 66CHF (~$70) / month. Unfortunately my router can't firewall packets at 10Gbps so I get around 1Gbps effectively. :)

Thanks for the kind words! No idea which customer you are :), but if you ever want to have a chat or have feedback, ping me!

Ah, that makes sense. I'd take a look at https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler -- I bet that fits the bill for what you need if you have the servers but need the data. :)

My company may be able to help save you the trouble of self-hosting. We do have a free tier (for non-commercial / test usage), and our pricing structure allows you to save quite a bit compared to MapTiler.

I don't think so. There's this: https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles to get from MBTiles and there's a few xyz folder tree tools to get mbtiles from that structure (e.g., https://pypi.org&#

Thanks for taking up the maintenance of Tippecanoe! I haven't needed to use it too much, but when I have, it fills a nice void.

> PMTiles aside, this is still Mapbox’s world. Isn't this a bit like saying we're still in Google's world because most maps still use Web Mercator? :) Good tech builds on what came before. Mapbox did a lot of ground-breaki

Would love to chat to see if we can help you! If you want, give me a shout at luke <at> stadiamaps.com

Yes. We should, and we're literally working on it right now!

We offer a very competitive solution that is quickly becoming a one-stop shop for what you mentioned: https://stadiamaps.com . All that functionality for a lot less than $1000 / month.

https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-leaflet exists! It's not perfect, and you don't see the full benefit of a WebGL renderer, but if you want to keep using a Leaflet API, it's great.

A lot of servers impose a constraint on URL length, so I suspect Mapbox does on their APIs.

I discovered it while looking at raster solutions, and it is pretty great! The raster stack is pretty bonkers. TiTiler uses at least three fundamental layers: GDAL, RasterIO, and rio-tiler. Each contribute a fairly significant improvement (

Valhalla is great (I've contributed a few patches and run it for a while)! Also check: http://project-osrm.org/ https://www.graphhopper.com/open-source/

Checkout https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler . Super easy way to generate a MBTiles, which you can then serve directly, or further convert to PMTiles, which can be used to host vector tiles for client-side renderin

You can also sponsor MapLibre: https://github.com/sponsors/maplibre (Disclaimer: I'm on the governing board, but derive no financial benefit from it.)

MapLibre has made really good strides (especially on the web) since the fork—3d-terrain support, more tile sources, other DX improvements (e.g., conversion to TypeScript). https://maplibre.org/maplibre-gl-js-docs/api&#x

It's hard, but certainly not impossible. Hosting and bandwidth are key inputs to your costs, but they are manageable.

There's also support for MapLibre GL JS style specs in the works! Excited to see another stable vector tile & style renderer added to the ecosystem.

by lukeqsee 4y ago
https://maplibre.org/ definitely attempts to preserve the DX with free selection of tile providers.

You typically use byte-range caching in libraries—either using an edge worker (a la Cloudflare) to create separate GET requests from the client's perspective or directly in the client.

by lukeqsee 4y ago
There's actually a reason why most of these APIs support POST—most use-cases are hot-linking, where you don't control how the client makes the request. (Often using an <img>.) Here's one alternative, if you don't w
