My laptop is better than what the company can provide! Just because I work at a "for-profit" startup doesn't mean they actually make a profit. I even had to transition our servers from AWS to DigitalOcean just to save on server costs.
I'll probably first look into running it on a dedicated SSD on the spare laptop, and if that goes well, move some subset onto my main laptop (2014 MacBook Pro 15" with 4TB SSD).
For a "slippy map", I use Leaflet with some scraped MOBAC tiles. https://github.com/peterburk/bamb https://github.com/peterburk/bamb
Search/geocode is missing though, and that's what would really make it more useful. Particularly if I can cut down the geographic range to squeeze it onto my 64GB phone.
- JaggedNZ 6y agoI'd suggest you figure out how to source or render your map tiles from somewhere else before you get a nastygram from the big G. I have not used it in many many years but I'd point you towards https://mapserver.org/ https://mapserver.org/ At one point I was one of many responsible for rending cache tile sets for all of NZ to 1:500. Sadly the whole system was scraped for a propriety solution mostly due to front-end issues, that funnily enough the propriety solution only multiplied.
