Creating .#mbtiles DB for iOS MapBox from hi-res #map image
http://martinsikora.com/creating-mbtiles-db-for-ios-mapbox-from-hi-res-map-image

So, I made a simple bash script that takes all sizes you specify and first scales the original picture and then splits it into smaller pieces 256x256 each... With that in mind I made another Python script that takes our #tiles and puts them into one SQLite database.

De quoi générer un fichier mbtiles à partir d’une grande image comme l’a fait @fil dernièrement.

I ran this shell script, which automatically assembled the PNG tiles into an #mbtiles file.

the liberty of postgreslessness: tiled vectors in mapnik (tecznotes)
http://mike.teczno.com/notes/postgreslessness-mapnik-vectiles.html

Data is one of OpenStreetMap’s biggest pain points. The latest planet file is 27GB, and getting OSM into the Postgres database can be a long and winding road. Vectored tiles offer a way forward, and Mapnik is growing features to support them. I’m also thinking about how vectors could be used with Mapnik directly to render bitmaps without needing direct access to a spatial data base. MVT (Mapnik Vector Tiles) is my first attempt at a sensible file format.

Scaled data values can ensure that a user’s eyes are drawn to important data points rather than geographical anomalies associated with many choropleth maps,

Mapping Mars with Open Planetary Data | MapBox
►http://mapbox.com/blog/2012-08-26-mapping-mars

“Inspired by the Mars Curiosity rover, I set out to map Mars using all open source tools (like QGIS and TileMill) and open data. The results of these tools and awesome data are stunning. The first shows Mars as “the red planet,” and the second map uses a more divergent color ramp to show Mars’ topographical variation.”

Toujours à fond chez #mapbox, cette fois ils nous pondent des cartes de Mars.

“This is a Python script: download it as a raw file, name it togeo.py. You’ll need GDAL for it to work – not necessarily the ‘python bindings’, but make sure that, in your terminal, gdal_translate and gdalinfo are present.”

Code : Flickr Developer Blog » The great map update of 2012
http://code.flickr.com/blog/2012/06/29/the-great-map-update-of-2012

Flickr design ses propres tuiles basées sur les données OSM dans Tilemill et devrait bientôt switcher vers Leaflet, plein de bonnes choses à venir.

Today we are launching Buenos Aires and Santiago in a new style. We will be launching more cities in this new style in the near future. They are built from more recent OSM data and they will also have an entirely new style which we call Pandonia. Our new style was designed in TileMill from the osm-bright template, both created by the rad team at MapBox.

https://github.com/flickr/Pandonia

To host all of these new tiles we needed to find a flexible javascript api. Cloudmade’s Leaflet is a simple and open source tile serving javascript library... We have a fork on GitHub which we plan to contribute to as time goes on. We’ll keep you posted.

Ça faisait un moment que je voulais tester la mise en place d’un serveur de tuiles. Après avoir lu pas mal de pages à ce sujet j’ai choisi d’utiliser TileStache (développé par les gens de Stamen).

Ma collection de liens et commentaires en vrac sont ici : http://labo.eliaz.fr/spip.php?article97

Et comme je suis sympa, je vous ai rédigé un petit tutoriel pour installer TileStache sur votre serveur : http://www.weblog.eliaz.fr/article115.html

Vizzuality/cartodb - GitHub
https://github.com/Vizzuality/cartodb

With CartoDB, you can upload your geospatial data (Shapefiles, GeoJSON, etc) using a web form and then make it public or private. After it is uploaded, you can visualize it in a table or on a map, search it using SQL, and apply map styles using CartoCSS. You can even access it using the CartoDB Maps API and SQL API, or export it to a file.

Un truc qui fait penser à Tilemill. Un jour j’aurai le temps de m’intéresser à tout ça en détail, un jour...

Enfin des tiles qui ont de la gueule pour OSM ! Et hop on branche geodiversité là dessus :)

Acetate is a set of stylesheets that are designed specifically for geographic data visualization. It includes several layers: topographic basemap, hillshading, roads, placenames. These layers can be used individually in combination in layering with thematic data, or composited together into a single image.
