- hutattedonmyarm 8y agoCould you elaborate?
- asutekku 8y agoThe examples on the site totally hijack my back button on iOS.
- jhowell 8y agoI hope you get your back button back.
- chrismorgan 8y agoIt could definitely do with some replaceState instead of pushState.
- aw3c2 8y agoThis is raster tiles, not vector.
- ephesee 8y agoBoth are available, see https://www.maptiler.com/maps/ https://www.maptiler.com/maps/
- aw3c2 8y agoThe software Maptiler is for raster output. Not sure what that map page is supposed to demo.
- teamhappy 8y agoIt says "Continue to MapTiler Cloud" in the bottom right corner. https://www.maptiler.com/cloud/ https://www.maptiler.com/cloud/ Looks like it's an online map editor/map viewer that supports both vector an raster images.
- maptiler 8y agoThe page demonstrates our worldwide map service - it is an alternative to Google Maps API - for a fraction of the price. You can use the maps in Leaflet, OpenLayers, in the mobile apps, etc.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoThere seem to be a "vector <-> raster" switch hidden in the map view of the ... product demo or whatever that is. Alas, I couldn't find what this has to do with OSM anywhere, so I don't get why it's mentioned in the submission title.
- kuschku 8y ago> Alas, I couldn't find what this has to do with OSM anywhere, The software generates map tiles out of OSM data, based on a few sample points I looked at.
- n4r9 8y agoThat's what I thought originally - similar to Mapnik. But I've downloaded it and can't see any way to work from raw osm data.
- Kequc 8y agoI didn't realise open street map had made so much progress, the demo page looks really nice. The satellite view is not very detailed where I was checking but other than that I'm very impressed with the offering.
- n4r9 8y agoOpenstreetmap is just the underlying data - absolutely anyone can come along and build a program to draw images from it. That's why OSM is so powerful, and what distinguishes it from Google maps etc.
- jhowell 8y agoThat, and OSM helps you find things other than retail outlets.
- simonw 8y agoAre you suggesting OSM has better point-of-interest search than Google Maps? I love OSM, but this doesn't match my experience at all. Can you provide a bit more detail, maybe some examples of searches that OSM has better data for than Google?
- mijamo 8y agoAt least here in Sweden you have much more detailed POI info in the countryside, like rune stoned and such. In Google Maps they can be impossible to find, and even the small path leading to them do not appear.
- lucb1e 8y agoI thought the same as simonw, I guess the confusion comes from that I would interpret POI search as being shops in towns. Indeed, things like runes and other countryside things with trails leading to them, gmaps is terrible at. I guess they just don't see the money in it, so it's up to us to map it ourselves.
- GoToRO 8y agoUnfortunately I bought a license for MapTiler and then I lost it when I reinstalled my pc. They preferred to do email ping-pong instead of giving me my license back. Apparently you have to "release" the license before reinstalling the pc. Because this is what you have to put up with if you try to be fair and actually pay for software...
- tutanchamun 8y agoReminds me especially of computer games in general and some single player Assasins Creed title specifically which had always online copy protection. The copy protection server was DDOSed meaning players that bought the game couldn't play or would always be kicked out of the game once the server went down again. On the other hand the pirates played the game without problems once they circumvented the proctection (a week?) after the game release.
- dagw 8y agoIt's a pretty nice piece of software. Unfortunately the affordable version is far too restricted and the 'useful' version is stupidly expensive. Had it been less than $1000 I probably would have bought a license.
- rburhum 8y agoMarket Size. You can't sell stuff for 39.99 if only 20 people in the world will buy it
- cebartling 8y agoI can vouch for their MapTiler Engine product. I consulted with a company that used it to create map tiles of mosaicked images captured by drones. MapTiler Engine worked great. Not cheap, but in our eyes, it definitely was worth the price. Thumbs up for MapTiler.
- buremba 8y agoYet another landing page influenced by Stripe. :)
- kaixi 8y agoWhat CDN do you use?
- iamleppert 8y agoVery cool, I recently wrote a map tiler that runs on AWS lambda and supports real-time tiling at any zoom level and real-time reprojection. Planning to open source it soon.
- jakecopp 8y agoKeen to see this! Please contact me it you do.
- 1998 8y agoI’ve used one of their mobile apps to overlay a hiking map on the satellite map and (iirc) cache the tiles in the area. Very useful to have gps positioning on a map that may only be available on paper, pdf, etc.
- webrender 8y agoI used MapTiler to generate a graph of the largest connected nodes on the Disqus network: http://webrender.net/disqus-universe/ http://webrender.net/disqus-universe/ Found it fast and easy to use. Couldn't believe how difficult it would have been to render the tiles otherwise.
