This is because everything is in digital form. Essentially all government systems are digital-first, and for the citizen, often digital-only. If the data is lost, there may be no p…

Thanks for the compliment! Definitely drop us a line. Our v2 response structure is still undergoing some iteration, especially around the particulars of labeling, so this may be in…

That's just not the case. For a good geocoder, you need many other data sources (which can be open). OpenAddresses ( https://openaddresses.io/ ) is an example of a vital dataset to…

Since this article was written, we've (Stadia Maps) also launched and made significant progress with our own Geocoding API: https://stadiamaps.com/products/geocoding-search/ It was…

The green card system is already broken (this is pretty universally agreed). The notion that receiving a degree in the US—which often entails a large degree of cultural assimilatio…

Switzerland, Init7 10/10 Gbps for 66CHF (~$70) / month. Unfortunately my router can't firewall packets at 10Gbps so I get around 1Gbps effectively. :)

Thanks for the kind words! No idea which customer you are :), but if you ever want to have a chat or have feedback, ping me!

Ah, that makes sense. I'd take a look at https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler -- I bet that fits the bill for what you need if you have the servers but need the data. :)

Thanks for the kind words! :)

My company may be able to help save you the trouble of self-hosting. We do have a free tier (for non-commercial / test usage), and our pricing structure allows you to save quite a …

I don't think so. There's this: https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles to get from MBTiles and there's a few xyz folder tree tools to get mbtiles from that structure (e.g., https:…

Thanks for taking up the maintenance of Tippecanoe! I haven't needed to use it too much, but when I have, it fills a nice void.

> PMTiles aside, this is still Mapbox’s world. Isn't this a bit like saying we're still in Google's world because most maps still use Web Mercator? :) Good tech builds on what came…

Would love to chat to see if we can help you! If you want, give me a shout at luke stadiamaps.com

Yes. We should, and we're literally working on it right now!

We offer a very competitive solution that is quickly becoming a one-stop shop for what you mentioned: https://stadiamaps.com . All that functionality for a lot less than $1000 / mo…

https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-leaflet exists! It's not perfect, and you don't see the full benefit of a WebGL renderer, but if you want to keep using a Leaflet API, it's …

A lot of servers impose a constraint on URL length, so I suspect Mapbox does on their APIs.

I discovered it while looking at raster solutions, and it is pretty great! The raster stack is pretty bonkers. TiTiler uses at least three fundamental layers: GDAL, RasterIO, and r…

Valhalla is great (I've contributed a few patches and run it for a while)! Also check: http://project-osrm.org/ https://www.graphhopper.com/open-source/

Checkout https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler . Super easy way to generate a MBTiles, which you can then serve directly, or further convert to PMTiles, which can be used to hos…

You can also sponsor MapLibre: https://github.com/sponsors/maplibre (Disclaimer: I'm on the governing board, but derive no financial benefit from it.)

MapLibre has made really good strides (especially on the web) since the fork—3d-terrain support, more tile sources, other DX improvements (e.g., conversion to TypeScript). https://…
