Streckenkarte

A tool to display maps of lines as vector tiles using leaflet.

Dependencies

• Tippecanoe
• ogrmerge (part of gdal-bin in Debian)

Usage

This software is meant to be installed as a hosted installation for several maps. This is done by putting the files in the frontend directory on a web server so they appear as /common/*, and then creating a directory for each map, with the maps appearing at /$mapname/. This directory should contain a strecken.pmtiles containing the vector tiles, as well as a layers.json containing metadata, and the web server should be configured to display /common/index.html when accessing /$mapname/. This can be achieved on nginx with the following snippet:

location ~ /.+/$ {
	rewrite ^/(.*)$ /common/index.html last; 
}

The strecken.pmtiles file is best generated using the mapbuilder.sh script. Furthermore, exporting maps from umap is possible using the umap-extractor.py script, which takes care of exporting the data as well as the graphical style for each layer.
