Serving vector tiles, fast: Want to serve #VectorTiles to your users? Fabian Rechsteiner’s benchmark pits six open-source servers (#BBOX, #ldproxy, #Martin, #pg_tileserv, #Tegola, #TiPg) against each other, revealing stark speed differences.

Cool find when I looked for a way to geocode a U.S. address from only the street name/number and zip code. Thank you, U.S. Census Bureau, along with the open source tools lynx and grep.
$ lynx -dump "https://geocoding.geo.census.gov/geocoder/locations/address?street=6200%20Belair%20Rd&state=md&zip=21206&benchmark=2020" | grep Interpolate
Interpolated Longitude (X) Coordinates: -76.536330264398
Interpolated Latitude (Y) Coordinates: 39.34987287084
If you create, or are curious about, #VectorTiles, you may have come across the command line utility #Tippecanoe (TIP-ə-kə-NOO). It’s probably no secret that its usage is not entirely trivial, but there is a helpful tool for this now. https://spatialists.ch/posts/2025/04-04-tool-tip-tippecanoe-command-generator/ #GIS #GISchat #geospatial #SwissGIS

I will be doing a #osm workshop for my internal community. Currently, I have 97 people signed up already. What could you recommend as a first (edit) task for them?
I was thinking something from Maproulette, but any other ideas are welcomed. They are from around the world. #openstreetmap #gis
And finally: `aws s3 cp --endpoint-url https://opentopography.s3.sdsc.edu --no-sign-request s3://raster/COP30/COP30_hh/Copernicus_DSM_10_N00_00_E006_00_DEM.tif .` The basename has changed, Used to be:
`Copernicus_DSM_COG_10_{lat}_00_{lon}_00_DEM` vs now
`Copernicus_DSM_10_{lat}_00_{lon}_00_DEM`.
Subtle differences that make you pull you hairs, as always.
I think I already asked something similar a few weeks back, but isn't there a public site where I can fetch #Copernicus GLO-30 #DEM files with a simple http client anymore? I used to use `wget` for this, then it was AWS CLI, and now it seems I have to set it up with a user/pass/key/secret_key?
I remember cloning the whole mapzen repo when it was on peril of disappearing, should I have done the same with data that's supposed to be public? Has anyone done that already?
