Geospatial @mander.xyz Lazycog @sopuli.xyz OpenGlobus: an Open-Source web map application library to display maps on a globe
github.com GitHub - openglobus/openglobus: TypeScript/JavaScript 3D maps and geospatial data visualization engine libraryTypeScript/JavaScript 3D maps and geospatial data visualization engine library - openglobus/openglobus
cross-posted from: https://sopuli.xyz/post/13599152
Just wanted to share this since I didn't find anything on lemmy about this. It's a pretty cool open-source project that I got introduced to while investigating a google maps / mapbox open-source alternatives for globe representation on the web.
Sorry if it doesn't fit into this community - didn't find a better community to post this and the sidebar says "OSM related software" posts are ok.
Here is a link to their website with examples: https://www.openglobus.org/

Geospatial @mander.xyz fossilesque @mander.xyz OSM Meta Thread: Gulf of America - Gulf of Mexico
community.openstreetmap.org Gulf of America - Gulf of MexicoPresident Donald Trump just said during his inauguration that he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Aside from the political aspects, how does that even work? How does OSM choose a source for that? I’m curious! Also, somebody executed what I thought while I wrote this post:

Opensource geodata of celltowers, wifis and bluetooth beacons is crucial.
It allows apps like UnifiedNLP to give the OS the location data it needs, without relying on GPS Sattelites.
GPS can be tampered with, and A-GPS is not privacy friendly at all.
UnifiedNLP is only found included in microG, which is pretty insecure.
But GrapheneOS devs are working on a regular user app that serves network location data, using Apple, Apple (proxied) or a local BeaconDB database!
BeaconDB is a new service to replace MozillaLocationServices which has shut down unfortunately.
Apps like TowerCollector dont yet support it, but NeoStumbler does, and also has more advanced features.
Collect network info in your region, and in the future you (and everyone else using it) dont need GPS anymore!
