At the FOSS4G in Boston we presented one of our recent works, being the MN-MAP library. It is very easy to use and quite linear in its structure. During the presentations I started looking into the next step of the library.

First of all adding, between the talks, MapboxGL support as well as custom projection support via proj4.js (for geojson datasets only, but it’s a start).

I also started a full WebGL version of mn-map, enabling the only usage of WebGL as rendering engine, using the three main possibilities as of today:

  • Mapbox’s MapboxGL
  • Mapzen’s Tangram
  • Bentley’s CesiumJS

The work is still in progress and you will be updated soon!
