OKAY, I'm reasonably happy with the current version. I now have a "progress map" on AlphabeticalZĂĽrich, available at alphabeticalzurich.ch/map.html

The base tiles are @protomaps, with an extra dash of Leaflet (leafletjs.com/), an export of my progress spreadsheet as CSV, and some "let's throw some ZĂĽrich opendata at the geometry problem".

And a non-zero amount of work to integrate it as I wanted (including "how do I avoid trivially leaking my API key"), but I *think* it's reasonably clean. It would probably warrant a proper blog post, if only to document things for myself, but now I need a break (... since at least few hours if I'm being honest with myself.)

But there, I'm happy - now I need to update the spreadsheet and the real-world data below it :D

Wonderful podcast episode with @bdon of @protomaps fame 🤗

This conversation is awesome to get a better understanding of #Maps, the #OpenStreetMap data, running an open source project, and how it all comes together in #Protomaps and #Maplibre đź—ľ

@tim_salabim I think #Protomaps is worth a mention whenever web mapping is mentioned protomaps.com/

It is a tile packaging format you can very cheaply host with a simple file server.

What are some good static storage APIs or CDNs for hosting .pmtiles in the EU? #protomaps

If anyone is interested in #pmtiles #protomaps self-hosted map tile cost comparisons between Cloudflare R2 and AWS S3 and AWS S3 + Cloudfront, here is what we experienced:

R2: $1.67/mo
S3: $4.87/mo
S3 + Cloudfront: $5.49 (but we also added 3 addt'l 5-gb buckets)

as a baseline with mapbox, we were using about 60k "map loads" per month, which equates to $50.

#Protomaps' Update-Politik geht mir massiv auf die NĂĽsse.

I have a talk in about 12 hours at Mapping USA 2025. It will be about WAMap and the virtues of vector based maps and client side filtering for doing data exploration.

You can also hear me later in the day reminding you to run for the OSM-US Board of Directors… if that’s something you may be interested in.

I hope you can join us! It’s free and all virtual.

We have a new blog post about hosting Protomaps pmtiles on Cloudflare R2. It's an overview of the steps to set it up, as well as a comparison of costs between Mapbox and Cloudflare R2 (based on our usage). blog.pinballmap.com/2024/11/05 #protomaps #CloudFlare
