GeoNode.org VS Stamen Maps

I would reconsider your approach just extend Geonode https://geonode.org/ +MapStore https://www.geosolutionsgroup.com/technologies/mapstore/ and add additional mapping apps and features to that robust proven solution. Look at zoo-project http://www.zoo-project.org/ for OGC API PROCESSES (WPS) and expose to map clients ability to do analysis and conversion and geoprocessing hitting this nice API. Utilize power...

If you're going down this path... https://geonode.org is worth considering, if you want all the bells and whistles prepackaged. But yeah, try Google drive first, keep it simple if you can! Source: over 1 year ago

The maps are pulled from the great Library of Congress online Sanborn Map collection, and the platform itself is an augmented implementation of GeoNode (more about that here). Happy to answer any questions below, you can also file bugs, etc. In the repo. Source: about 2 years ago

If you really want to be independent you could set up your own GIS system with something like Geonode but that suggestion is more for r/geographymemes. Source: about 2 years ago

Geonode might be a ready-made solution for you. It integrates postgis, geoserver, django, leaflet. All out of the box. Source: about 3 years ago

Thanks!! It was actually pretty easy. I got the map background from Stamen Maps (free), and for the vellum overlay I just traced all the points by hand and wrote the title on with a metallic gold marker. Source: over 1 year ago

The barriers to adopting vector-everywhere are social and commercial, not technical. There are a couple great public raster services like osm.org's default style and http://maps.stamen.com. These are 100% free to use, so they get used everywhere, but incur significant expense to the organizations running (paying) for them. There aren't equivalent solutions in vector-land yet...

Thanks for the feedback. The map is from maps.stamen.com . When I re-watch the clip I also notice that the text is way to fast. Source: almost 2 years ago

The Stamen toner map may work well for you: http://maps.stamen.com/#toner/14/37.8024/-122.2645 Also checkout their watercolor rendering... Probably my favorite basemap that I never get to use. If you do use QGIS, you can get the Quick Map Services plugin that will connect you with these Stamen basemaps as well (and tons of other basemaps, a must-have plugin). - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
