地圖是生活中相當常用的軟體。Google 與 Apple 地圖無所不在，但它們顯然都是封閉原始碼的軟體，對開發者來說是黑箱。這些供應商對某些用途來說並不好用，例如公共衛生、政府服務與新聞地圖。

在本次演講中，我將帶您了解：

  1. Leaflet 與 MapLibre 等函式庫與 GIS 有何相關之處，在哪裡使用它們，以及它們如何讓沒有地理背景的 JavaScript 程式設計師使用地圖
  2. OpenStreetMap 資料集與全端互動地圖 API 之間的區別製作
  3. 地圖的設計與資料注意事項，如何製作縮小的圖磚化地圖檢視、地圖偏差與國際化

最後，我將會討論開放原始碼的 Protomaps 專案，這是一個用於製作與提供圖磚化網路地圖的完整系統。我將把它與其他開放與專有的替代方案進行比較，展示它的使用者，並解釋我打算如何使其長期可持續發展。（中文翻譯，原文請見英文版）（由 OpenStreetMap x Wikidata 臺灣社群與 COSCUP 大會聯合邀請）

Maps are one of the most used pieces of software. Google and Apple Maps are everywhere, but are infamously closed source - a “black box” to developers. There are many use cases that aren’t well served by these providers, such as maps for public health, government services and journalism.

In this talk, I’ll give an overview of:

  1. How libraries like Leaflet and MapLibre relate to GIS, where to use them, and how they make mapping accessible to JS coders without a geography background
  2. The difference between the OpenStreetMap dataset and a full-stack interactive mapping API
  3. Design and data considerations for making maps - how zoomed out tiled map views are created, map bias and internationalization

Finally, I’ll talk about the open source Protomaps project, which is a complete system for creating and serving tiled web maps. I’ll compare it to other open and proprietary alternatives, showcase its users, and explain how I plan to make it sustainable in the long term.

I’m the lead developer of the Protomaps open source project - a self-hostable alternative to Google Maps and other proprietary APIs, built on open data. I used to live in the United States, now I live in Taipei, Taiwan!
