Very neat product! I especially like your Maps app (I myself built TravelMap.net).
Are all your maps static?
Do you generate and host your OSM vector tiles yourself?
- dkyc 5y agoWhat do you mean by static? Yes, the tiles for our locator maps [0] are self-generated and hosted based on OSM source data and the OpenMapTiles project. The boundaries used for choropleths [1] are maintained by us based on various public sources (NaturalEarthData, OSM, government data, …) [0] https://www.datawrapper.de/maps/locator-map https://www.datawrapper.de/maps/locator-map [1] https://www.datawrapper.de/maps/choropleth-map https://www.datawrapper.de/maps/choropleth-map
- clementmas 5y agoCan you zoom in and drag your locator maps around once embedded? I only see images being generated
- dkyc 5y agoThe maps are rendered live (not as images), which is needed for responsiveness, but they are not draggable/zoomable. This is a product decision based on the explanatory/storytelling nature of the feature, we go into more detail here: https://academy.datawrapper.de/article/216-why-its-not-possible-to-zoom-in-published-locator-maps https://academy.datawrapper.de/article/216-why-its-not-possi...
