arcsump Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Familiar with Openlayers but needed a more lightweight solution? Try Leaflet as your portrayal service comrades ^^ http://leafletjs.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cseu Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I was about to get my hands on Leaflet for my next project... looks amazing. I just hope it's customizable enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cseu Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I've been comparing leaflet and mapbox.js lately... both are very nice I'm exploring right now the possibility of serving mbtiles though a tilestream server using wax and mapbox.js. Very promising in terms of speed, design and functionalities. You may want to have a look : Tilemill's mbtiles format : http://mapbox.com/developers/mbtiles/ Tilestream server : https://github.com/mapbox/tilestream/blob/master/README.md Wax : http://mapbox.com/wax/ Mapbox.js : http://mapbox.com/mapbox.js/api/v0.6.7/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cseu Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I would like to give you a follow up about Leaflet... Even if it sounds promising and easy on simple projects... as soon as you want to dig a little bit more and give it a more sophisticated use, you'll definitely run into problems. The project is crippled with what they call “minor” bugs... which i wouldn't call minor anyway, for example on webkit stock android browsers, there is an very obvious offset in tiles, which makes the map quite ugly. There is a fix, but which displays a one pixel line around the tiles... i wouldn't call that a fix either... I'm spending an awful amount of time to track the bugs, the community doesn't seem very tight... There are some open bugs without any answer or comment since 3 or 4 months... I'm sure the guys are doing the best they can, and i don't wanna underestimate their job or sound disrespectful... But believe me, if it's not just to display a simple map in a div, stick with OpenLayers... otherwise get ready to write a lot of code yourself ! It looks very promising, they've done a wonderful job altogether... but it's too soon to use it on complex projects if you're not a hardcore JS coder.
