Something to add to their list of common passwords is the What3Words database of locations https://what3words.com It's something like 50trillion sets of looks-random strings. That's quite a lot, but if the list could be narrowed very significantly to get some likely results by selecting locations in: 1) cities where a company is physically located 2) large capital & global cities 3) significant landmarks I see... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Crashing in a Metro Park follows very similar recommendations as to what’s above. However, accurately describing your location along our Metro Parks Greenway trails and systems can often be tricky! And just for that reason, the parks department uses the app What3Words to help people share their exact location with emergency responders. Whether you’ve crashed or come across someone who needs aid for any reason,... Source: 8 months ago

It also wouldn't hurt to... Source: over 1 year ago

Thank you! It's on my todo-list to set up such a server and your work will really help with it.

Also worth mentioning is GeoServer [3] [0] https://opentopomap.org/ [1]... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
ArcGIS Online could be the right move as long as you set up the service correctly. You could also load the shapefile into a database like PostgreSQL and connect to the database via an API like Geoserver FastVector, or pg_tileserv. This would cause a lot more time, cost, and knowledge on your end though to host a database and api vs loading the data into the ESRI ecosystem. Source: almost 2 years ago
I am currently working on setting up a web app using leaflet that can display .tif images along with some polygons and add some filters in the web app to better interact with the data. In the process of implementing this, I came to know that I need to use a tile server because I have large amounts of data and the tile server can help to serve the tiles on the web app. Based on my research, I guess these two are...
