It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such ...
This is a tutorial for creating interactive maps on Wikipedia for lines, using OpenStreetMap data, available on a compatible Open Database License. This is designed for transit routes, but is easily applicable for creating maps of roads, rivers, and other linear objects. For maps of shapes (neighborhoods, parks, historic districts, campuses, and most other present-day sites), see Wikipedia ...
Tile Map Service or TMS, is a specification for tiled web maps, developed by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The definition generally requires a URI structure which attempts to fulfill REST principles. The TMS protocol fills a gap between the very simple standard used by OpenStreetMap and the complexity of the Web Map Service standard, providing simple urls to tiles while also ...
GraphHopper is an open-source routing library and server written in Java and provides a routing API over HTTP. [1] It runs on the server, desktop, Android, iOS or Raspberry Pi. [2] [3] By default OpenStreetMap data for the road network and elevation data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission is used. The front-end is open-source too and ...
Web Mercator, Google Web Mercator, Spherical Mercator, WGS 84 Web Mercator [1] or WGS 84/Pseudo-Mercator is a variant of the Mercator map projection and is the de facto standard for Web mapping applications. It rose to prominence when Google Maps adopted it in 2005. [2] It is used by virtually all major online map providers, including Google Maps, CARTO, Mapbox, [3] Bing Maps, OpenStreetMap ...
