Hosting MBTiles maps, fast and cheap. Jul 5, 2014. Was working on a data visualization project, creating a map of Vancouver’s buildings colourized by their age of construction. She has created one several months ago in ArcGIS to aid in our apartment hunt in Vancouver, but now we decided to make it interactive and publish it online. I’ve pointed her towards Mapbox’s great map design tool TileMill. And in a couple of days she came up with a great looking, at times trippy map. Maps (something I was trying o...

Greetings from Manasquan, NJ: Offline Maps for Hurricane Sandy, Built By OSM Data in TileMill, Available for Entire Northeast United States

Greetings from Manasquan, NJ. Sunday, October 28, 2012. Offline Maps for Hurricane Sandy, Built By OSM Data in TileMill, Available for Entire Northeast United States. As Hurricane Sandy looms off the eastern seaboard, posed to cause a massive incident in the United States, one of the largest concerns is for prolonged power outages, and possible connectivity outages due to downed towers and utility lines. No Power No Internet = No Internet Based Maps. Unless. I can't vouch for the total accuracy of the da...

Straighten up and fly right. Thoughts on technology, art, music, programming, creativity…. Newer posts →. Laws are laws and rules are rules… until they aren’t. Thoughts on keeping an open mind. There is a phenomenon amongst programmers that many of them are also musicians. People have often pondered why this is citing things like the Pythagoreans. Who stated “all nature consists of harmony arising out of numbers”. A similar thing happened when I learned about number systems. The decimal system (base ...

Too Many Points
http://ebrelsford.github.io/maps/leaflet/2014/03/06/too-many-points.html
I have too many points on my map. It’s making things so slow. This comes up pretty often when you try to map many points on a webmap. Once you get over a few thousand points, your browser really starts to chug! For example, the map above is running with the mapping library Leaflet. And has around 30,000 points on it. Zooming (making the map more or less detailed) and panning (those attempts you see above to pull the map to the left, then the right) at the very least test your patience. What is to be done?

Web Mapping Services Overview (7/8). July 31, 2012. Part 7: Serving Your Map. Harkening back to Part 1, recall that the map image you see on your computer screen when you go to Google or MapQuest has to be. And Microsoft’s proprietary IIS. Another option that has gained a tremendous amount of use over the past few years is Amazon’s cloud servers. Map servers have built-in functionality to create services such as WMS and Tile services. The most popular map servers are listed below. 3 ArcGIS for Server:.
