And why not reuse one of the existing open source map or directions front-ends?

#92Hey, this looks great, thanks for working on it! I'm the creator of Mapzy[0], an open-source and self-hostable store finder. We're trying to focus on privacy as much as possible, but currently use Mapbox since it's better than Google Maps and we didn't find any other alternatives. Do you think Headway could be a replacement for us? We currently use the Mapbox JS library to create the pins etc. - could we use Headway…
Try MapTiler. It works fine with what you're using. For geocoding, I dunno, we run our own show.

Have you looked into Nominatim [1] for reverse geocoding? [1] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim

#94Thanks for this. I'm curious to know: why did you include two routing engines (OTP and valhalla)? Wouldn't e.g. OTP sufficient and use much less resources compared to 2 setups? And why not reuse one of the existing open source map or directions front-ends?

Thanks! MapTiler looks great, but a bit on the pricey side for our use case.

Unfortunately no. maplibre-gl-js requires webgl for vector tile rendering. That's how you get snappy zoom performance, reduce the load on the end-user's cellular connection, etc. Sick phone though I'm a little bit jealous :)
You wouldn't be as jealous if you knew how hard it is to find batteries these days.

#98In Italy, most of the cities have the Italian name, some of them have an English name (Florence, Naples), some have a German name (Triest). The behaviour is different than OSM, at least for me.

I can also imagine requesting route via terminal and getting just list of directions which is many times enough
I have seen (but cannot find now) a command line tool that you give two addresses, it queries OpenTripPlanner for itineraries and displays the result using walking, train etc. Unicode emojis.
