Day 14/100: Ten years later, same place, different tools 🔄

Aiudului Gorges (Trascău Mountains): my reference mapping location since 2011.
2011: #OpenLayers + MapTiler. 2D tiles over OSM.
2021: #ProceduralGL. Smooth 3D terrain with #WebGL + real elevation. Routes draped over high-res topography.

Core question unchanged: how help people understand terrain before arrival?Problems consistent. Solutions transform.

Day 1/100: The origin 🗺️

Aiudului Gorges, Romania. 2011. Karst terrain I still hike and climb.

Hand-digitized contours from topographic map. Same one from my thesis. Tiles with GDAL2Tiles + MapTiler, rendered in OpenLayers.

Before Three.js in cartography. Before WebGL was mainstream.

Same question: how do we make terrain feel real online? ⛰️

Still asking, 14 years later.

#mapping

Si estás empezando en el mundo del #webmapping, además de aprender a usar librerías tipo #leaflet, #openlayers o #maplibre es bueno sentar las bases de algunos conceptos clave.

Proyecciones, sistemas de referencia, coordenadas, transformaciones… porque hacer del planeta Tierra un sistema en 2D, no es sencillo.
