Hello OHM community! I run a nonprofit geospatial web shop called GreenInfo Network <https://www.greeninfo.org/>, and we’ve been working on a range of new features and improvements to OHM. (Our team includes our own staff plus Jeff Meyer and very active OSM-expert developers Seth Fitzsimmons <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Mojodna> and Jim McAndrew <https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/JimmyRocks>.)
Two of the most exciting new improvements are: 1. Rendering vector tiles from the OHM planet, with regular updates (every 5 minutes). This uses the OpenMapTiles stack. 2. A new demo of a working time slider that filters the vector tiles, implemented to work as both a MB GL control and a Leaflet plugin. We also have a near-complete version of the OHM stack running on AWS where we have replaced the raster maptiles with GL, and where we plan to implement this time slider soon. But first we’d love to have you all take a look and give us feedback: - Demo in Mapbox GL <https://openhistoricalmap.github.io/openhistoricaltiles/mbgl-control-timeslider/> - Code for Mapbox GL <https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/openhistoricaltiles/tree/gh-pages/mbgl-control-timeslider> - Leaflet demo <https://openhistoricalmap.github.io/openhistoricaltiles/leaflet-control-mbgltimeslider/demo/> - Leaflet control code <https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/openhistoricaltiles/tree/gh-pages/leaflet-control-mbgltimeslider> You can file issues in the GH repo here <https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/openhistoricaltiles/issues>. For bug reports, let us know which demo you are using (Mapbox vs Leaflet) and details of browser. Screenshots are always helpful as well. These maptiles are generated directly from the live OHM Planet and associated diffs. We are aware that a vector-only solution has limitations, and we have some thoughts about how we can also provide raster tiles filtered by date, but this implementation seemed like a good first step in making a usable slider based on real OHM data. Looking forward to your feedback. Best, Dan -- *Dan Rademacher, Executive Director* [email protected] Office: (510) 350-8700 x310.
