Not so long ago, we began to
render 3D-models on Gitkhab. Today we are pleased to announce the latest addition to the family of visualizations - about geodata. Any
.geojson file in the Github repository will now automatically be displayed as an interactive map (with the ability to browse), equipped with your geodata.

People are already using Github to store various geodata, from
Chicago postal codes to
community radio stations and
paths known in the history of hurricanes , so we look forward to seeing the further benefits of community collaboration.

“Under the hood,” we use
Leaflet.js to display geoJSON data over a special version of the base layer of the
MapBox street map — simplified so that your data will appear on it. Best of all is that karosonova uses data from
OpenStreetMap ; so if you want to improve
any part of it,
edit it right away .
Maps on Github support the display of GIS data as points, lines, and polygons. You can even tune the way your data is displayed - for example, change the colors and sizes of individual notes, indicate more understandable icons, indicate additional information for reading by the reader, who pointed to the mark on the map that interested him.
How to start to act? Simply send the
.geojson file to a new or existing repository - or
go into the documentation explaining the settings for the cartostyle.
Afterword from the translatorThe name of the original source (“There's a map for that”) rhymes with the popular meme “There's an app for that” (meaning “For this is an app”), which means a wealth of choice of mobile apps. This pun is not translated into Russian, but it can be explained in the afterword, and explained it.
