This is SOO Good! Thank you for making this.
Just as an idea: I think your demo should include an optional "Locate Me" button that requests geolocation perms and prints the lat long point on the map.

At least there is New Zealand.
Re: Tiny World Map
#14Great product. Would be awesome if you could generate a smaller version depending on which part of the world you are biased towards.
Re: Tiny World Map
#15This is cool, but the shorelines are very low detail. A few towns in the UK are off in the sea, meanwhile Greenland and Northern Canada are hogging all the vertices.
It looks as though the Mercator projection is already being accounted for in the detail level, but it would be good to deprioritize unpopulated areas.
Re: Tiny World Map
#16This is really nice although I'm finding the progressive loading a bit unreliable - sometimes tiles don't display if I zoom and pan quickly at the same time. I'm using FF 125.0 on Android.

Re: Tiny World Map
#18I made the same (offline first, very small, vector based) but with a focus on i18n. So it's available in all languages of the United Nation (except Spanish because I just forgot, shame on me, could be made in a couple of hours).
The name of the countries (and cities) are the official one declared at the UN. So, yeah, the official short version of UK is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
Re: Tiny World Map
#19It's very good !
- Get the islands back !
- Limit the zoom level to not pass through the land
- Make the Capital city maybe in light bold or slightly bigger to differentiate them
- Fix long name
- Some cities disappear when you zoom.
Re: Tiny World Map
#20This is cute, and I can imagine there are some use cases for it. But I was disappointed to find out that it doesn't even have the 150km2 island that I live on. Maybe a bit too small for most cases.
