Ask HN: Resources for learning about map rendering?
Anyone have a great book or link that talks about the internals of modern maps?
I'm currently a full stack dev with an interest in moving towards a position more focused on map rending / working with maps, but I'm having trouble finding resources for learning the skills I would need for such a position.
- blcArmadillo 7y agoMaybe looking at MapBox's OpenGL renderer: https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js or https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native would be worthwhile.
- vulkd 7y agoThe OSM wiki is a valuable source of info. Have a read about tiles to start https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_Map https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_Map
