Hey :) Thanks!

I'm not sure as to specifics (as I haven't tried this), but if DeckGL worked with 1.x Mapbox GL JS, it should just work with MapLibre, with a few potential minor adjustments (e.g., nomenclature). Can't promise it though.

Mapzen is probably the one you're thinking of. A lot of their projects got rolled into various foundations (e.g., Linux Foundation).

https://maputnik.github.io is similar to Mapbox Studio, but isn't going to give you all you mentioned. All vector tile sources use tags in various ways, so Maputnik (and the resulting styles) do as well. There isn't a

Yes, for sure. Good expansion points.

As others stated, this demo dataset is pretty simple. I believe it's only using Natural Earth data ( https://www.naturalearthdata.com/ ). The primary focus is on the rendering library.

Good question! There's a lot of Map<thing>s and it's very unclear how they all fit together without prior experience. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a community-driven, fully open and usable data library. It has usable data for almo

Metal support (coming soon) and MBTiles support (released AFAIK) are two things I know of, but I defer to the Releases page for specifics beyond that: https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/releases .

MapLibre GL Native supports server-side raster rendering via tileserver-gl or a custom server implementation (my company does this). Desktop support should be possible with some extra work with Native, but I'm not certain, for instance

There is active development on a Metal-supporting version, yes! https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/tree/metal-su... is the branch and https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-n

I'm one of the folks behind the fork (and part of the initial steering committee). Happy to answer any questions!

Much of the interesting work I've been able to do in the last five years is entirely due to the hard work put into PostGIS to make it an excellent open-source GIS platform. Kudos to all involved, and especially Paul for his work spea

Looks like a great company and product. Would 60% be enough commitment to consider applying?

The value is in the derivative works (literally hundreds of companies directly and indirectly rely on OSM for their map data).

Shoutout to MapOut on iOS! An excellent outdoor map implementation (including fully offline), and I use it all the time.

Agreed. It just has a cluttered and sometimes confusing interface (in my experience) which makes it difficult for me to intuitively use it for routing especially. So I typically use Apple Maps for routing—because it just works and is easy.

In my estimation, Google's data advantage mostly comes from deploying millions of monetary units to sending physical cars out to drive every road they could (and doing it over and over again). How does OSM compete with that in a centra
110.
by lukeqsee 6y ago
What app are you using? OSM itself (openstreetmap.org) doesn't do routing, so I'm guessing the data itself is bad? It could be a bad governmental open data merge.

> Either its data will never get better than Google's, or it will. If it does, Google might switch the mapping source for Google Maps over to OSM, and make loads of money off it that way. A bit like MS Edge on top of Chromium. Sure

OSM needn't compete with Google Maps (as a consumer application) directly; it doesn't, really. Lots of apps based on OSM data do need to compete, and that is very difficult to do on a global-scale. That's why most successfu

Came here to say this. Fastmail is rock-solid, well-priced, and has basically every feature I find important for business or personal email. Been with them for years and never regretted it!

It’s in the works! Lots and lots of community interest. Working out the details of governance, code hosting, etc., so that one commercial entity isn’t the sole controller of what comes next. Email me (in bio) if you want looped-in.

Communities have a way of escaping corporate thinking, when enough of us agree on something. :)

You can keep using v1.13 (or earlier) for now. It looks like there's significant community support for an independent, open fork (see my other threads). More on this soon.
117.
by lukeqsee 6y ago
Of course! And that's what everyone will keep doing for a while. However, without a maintained version, it will eventually wither from neglect.

Geocoding is really hard. :) https://opencagedata.com seems to be the best around using open data and offer API compatibility (or did at last check).

It looks like they integrate with it, but don't require it directly.
