TypeScript/JavaScript 3D maps and geospatial data visualization engine library - openglobus/openglobus

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/

Wow, that looks amazing! Will definitely check it out for a side project :)

@Lazycog @openstreetmap
Does this support vector tile sources too, or just raster tiles?
- I believe that currently it's raster only unfortunately. Hoping that there will be vector tiles in the future!

It shows an OSM-view as default, so this still fits this community. In the past, someone posted a news article about Apple Maps; I commented that that didn't fit the community guidelines because OSM wasn't even mentioned in the article (even though Apple Maps uses it!). Even then, I didn't delete the post so...
- Thanks for the clarification on that rule! And sad to hear that people don't always give OSM the credit it deserves...
  
  Oh, Apple gives the attribution when needed. Rather, the specific article posted here didn't mention it (I think the author wasn't aware of it and/or it didn't matter for the article)
