Show HN: Maptoolkit.org – Free and beautiful vector maps (maptoolkit.org)
12 points by antonpirker 10 days ago
We built Maptoolkit.org - a free, production-grade vector maps service built on OpenStreetMap and MapLibre.

Map rendering and tile hosting have historically been either expensive (Google, Mapbox) or complex to maintain yourself. (Plus: Their maps are car-focused.)

Our maps feature max data zoom 15, global hill-shading, 3D terrain, contour lines, water depths, and specialized styles (like Hiking, Cycling, Winter).

No sign up or API keys required. You can use it like this:

``` const map = new maplibregl.Map({ container: 'map', style: 'https://styles.maptoolkit.org/summer.json', // <- that's all you need to add center: [11.40, 47.27], zoom: 12 }); ```

And you can create custom styles with our MapMaker. Maybe a Elden Ring map style for your website?

We hope you like it.

This is nice and something I'd probably use on my business's website hero-section!
Nice! In the MapMaker (https://mapmaker.maptoolkit.org/) you can upload an image and it will create a color scheme derived from that image and style the map accordingly.

So you can try to upload your Logo to have a map matching your color scheme :-)

One finger panning is better.

Tried the winter map once and it quickly crashed.
