tiny-world-map (via) I love this project. It’s a JavaScript file (694K uncompressed, 283KB compressed) which can be used with the Leaflet mapping library and provides a SVG base map of the world with country borders and labels for every world city with a population more than 48,000—10,000 cities total.
This means you can bundle an offline map of the world as part of any application that doesn’t need a higher level of detail. A lot of smaller island nations are missing entirely though, so this may not be right for every project.
It even includes a service worker to help implement offline mapping support, plus several variants of the map with less cities that are even smaller. # 21st April 2024, 10:11 pm
mapshaper.org (via) It turns out the mapshaper CLI tool for manipulating geospatial data—including converting shapefiles to GeoJSON and back again—also has a web UI that runs the conversions entirely in your browser. If you need to convert between those (and other) formats it’s hard to imagine a more convenient option. # 23rd March 2024, 3:44 am
