What a coincidence! I discovered OpenLayers yesterday when looking for a way to display a 1 Terapixel image. I got it up and running in a few hours. Kudos to the developers!
Are you serving it as a "static image" or using a different method? https://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/static-image.html
Leaflet - it doesn't have map rotation, so it was a dealbraker for me. People on Stack Overflow were talking about ugly hacks, I didn't want to go into the rabbit hole.
Mapbox - I found docs little clunky (again, I'm amateur so it may be the reason I didn't get it) and couldn't really work out what's paid and what's free. Didn't spend a lot of time on them, though.
OpenLayers - I think it's the best one feature-wise, but documentation is rather for more advanced developers. I struggled a lot before finally grasping how it works and still, it's not easy. Getting started guide like Vue.js has would be immensely helpful.
I ended up with OpenLayers and I'm pretty satisfied for now, despite needing fairly long time to actually implement features properly.
Leaflet author here! Just wanted to note that if you haven't looked into OpenLayers in a few years, you absolutely should — it's astonishing how much it progressed: from something that I was so frustrated with that it prompted me to write Leaflet in the first place (11 years ago) to a modern, fast, well-engineered and lovingly maintained library. It's especially great when you're doing complex GIS stuff and need a to…
Thank you for building leaflet. It (and scrapy) are how I wound up finding the house I live in now - a quirky, dirt cheap cottage I'd never have taken note of without the tools to filter and visualize a whole country's listings.
Definitely recommended!
Speaking of, does anyone know a cheaper service than Mapbox and Google Maps for raster tiles? I have an app that uses Leaflet for rendering, and Mapbox purely for its raster tiles (both plain maps and satellite required). Mapbox has been cheap for us, at about $50/mo. But with the new pricing structure taking effect in December, it's now about $450/mo. I believe Google and Bing are both more expensive than that. I've…
Happy to answer any questions! (I’m a cofounder.)

Cool, thanks. Pricing looks good. I'm not able to check out your product because your service appears to be down right now...? $ curl 'https://tiles.stadiamaps.com/styles/alidade_smooth.json' 502 Bad Gateway The server returned an invalid or incomplete response. Tried from multiple locations to make sure.
Very unfortunate timing there. We had a cache server wedge, and the failover mechanism didn't detect it quickly enough. We've diverted traffic manually and are working on bringing the bad region back into the mix after it went down.
Things should be working again now, at least.

Yeah… :( Very unfortunate timing there. We had a cache server wedge, and the failover mechanism didn't detect it quickly enough. We've diverted traffic manually and are working on bringing the bad region back into the mix after it went down. Things should be working again now, at least.

You don't even show up in the "stadia" search results without the term "maps" added.
If it wasn't scary and expensive to sue Google for a name change, this seems like a case of Google (probably unwittingly) crushing your brand and trademark with their own.
Have y'all noticed a decrease in search traffic (or general brand/product awareness) since Google Stadia launched? And if so, do you plan to do anything about it?
Really cool product! Your maps look slick and super clean. :)

We've actually seen an uptick because of badly placed keyword searches for Stadia.
We also aren't exactly sure the best way to counter it, but we're working on figuring out the best way. We don't really have a legal resource, either, given we didn't have a trademark before Google Stadia came along.
