  3. tilemaker

    Make OpenStreetMap vector tiles without the stack

    Project mention: Self hosted maps for (practically) free | dev.to | 2025-06-03

    Tilemaker is tool for transforming map data. We can use it to take our source .osm.pbf file and transform it into a .pmtiles file. The best thing about Tilemaker is that you can use a lua script to organize map features into layers however you want. In this post I am going to take trail data (osm tag highway=path) and make it available for much higher zoom levels than it is normally available. I want my map to show trails when zoomed really far out.

  4. maplibre-native

    MapLibre Native - Interactive vector tile maps for iOS, Android and other platforms.

    Project mention: Project of the Week: MapLibre | dev.to | 2025-06-13

    MapLibre is an open-source JavaScript library for publishing interactive vector maps on websites and applications. Originally forked from Mapbox GL JS in December 2020 (when Mapbox switched to a non-OSS license), MapLibre has evolved significantly beyond being just a replacement. With over 7,700 GitHub stars, 843 forks, and contributions from 551 developers, MapLibre has established itself as the leading open-source solution for web-based vector mapping.

  5. tangram-es

    2D and 3D map renderer using OpenGL ES

  6. osmscout-server

    Maps server providing tiles, geocoder, and router

  7. SaaSHub
