Mapwork Quilts

When I was a lad nosotros were so piteous nosotros had to brand our ain interactive maps, stitching together the sometime scraps in addition to castoffs nosotros constitute on the cobbled streets exterior the New York Public Library.

OpenWhateverMap is a real useful map for anyone looking for distinctive map tiles for their latest interactive mapping project. OpenWhateverMap is a random map of the basis made upward of a hotchpotch of unlike map styles, sourced from lots of unlike interactive mapping providers.

OpenWhateverMap is a showcase for a release of unlike base of operations map styles that tin hold upward used amongst whatever of the leading interactive map libraries. It includes base of operations maps designed past times Mapbox, OpenStreetMap, Thunderforest, Stamen in addition to CartoDB. If yous similar the expect of whatever of these map styles in addition to so click on the tile on the map. This volition opened upward an information window containing the base of operations map's template URL in addition to the attribution yous ask to role the mode inward your ain interactive maps.

When I kickoff saw OpenWhateverMap I idea it powerfulness hold upward interesting to exercise a similar map using random map tiles from vintage maps. I accept thus completely ripped off OpenWhateverMap to exercise Random USA.

RandomUSA creates a random map of the USA made from xviii vintage maps held inward the NYPL Digital Collections. The effect, equally I suspected it would be, is a fleck of a mess. The adept matter is, if yous don't similar the expect of a random vintage map of the USA, in addition to so yous tin simply zoom inward in addition to out to alter the expect of the map.

It is definitely non equally useful as OpenWhateverMap.
