Thanks to black MagAIc, I was finally able to create a playground map that contains most of the "features" I would like to have in such a map. Based on #OpenStreetMap data.

ATM it is only fetching data for one city. I am still struggling with performance. Overpass queries are not super fast and can time out often 🙈
Help on this is, is really appreciated 🤗

More details in the alt texts and next post.

@mfuhrmann I don't think #Overpass is not supposed to be used as the backend for apps. I think you better setup #OpenStreetMap data your own postgis database.

@mdione is this the "Geoserver"?

@mfuhrmann

If you're already interfacing overpass, you can install your own. I have no experience with it, but if you want to control the performance, I see not much of an option.

Also, it's possible that the type of queries you're trying to do are better solved with plain SQL than overpass. That's why I suggested postgis.

And to answer your question: GeoServer is a system to share, process and edit geospatial data. It's more like a web server running an app than the database itself.

@mdione Thanks for the explanation 🤗

@mfuhrmann @mdione if you only care about a smallis subset of map features it’s also totally reasonable to package it up from a planet extract and ship it next to your app. Keeps you from needing to run a full backend all the time at the expense of data only updating when you update the app.

@watmildon @mfuhrmann if you don't want to fuss too much, maybe a geosqlite would be enough.

I think this is the only option I have. I would like to offer this map for the entire world. But I don't see how this could work.

@mfuhrmann @mdione sadly, I haven't done app development like this so don't have great answers. I have a few web maps that use a cloud hosted pmtiles file for their data layer. That may be worth investigating.

@watmildon @mdione
I will check that out, too. Not sure how, yet, but at least I will give it a try.

But in regards to digital independence, decentralized services or regionalization, I can also live with a solution where communities could host a small stack (for their region) by their own.
I mean, I do t have another option if the global service idea is not doable 😂
