• Are there any good tools for making a modern map?

  I have used http://maps.stamen.com to good effect. Source: about 1 year ago

• I finished my first film photography zine!

  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

• Self Hosting a Google Maps Alternative with OpenStreetMap

  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... I wrote a bit about this previously:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• A map zoom effect for a video I'm editing. Something I can improve?

  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

• Why are maps so hard to make?

  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

• Good 1920s maps?

  Kinda off topic but if you're just looking for the retro look, http://maps.stamen.com/ can make current cities look like older ones ! Source: over 2 years ago

• Is it possible to use google maps or generally irl maps to play a ttrpg? (The End Of The World: Zombie Apocalypse)

• I made a website that lets you make your own high definition maps

  Yes, this idea has been done before, there's even https://atlas.co/, http://maps.stamen.com/ and some others I can't recall right now. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ancient Xinjiang Mummies Are Not of Indo-European Origin

  > I've been looking for a good source, but not for something that requires serious commitment. What are you looking to do in particular? You can easily host a simple JS script that serves raster tiles. Take a look at http://maps.stamen.com. The OSM wiki also has a lot of good advice https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tiles. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• LeafletJS

  If you want to roll your own tiles, you get tons of flexibility with your own tileserver, which is great if you want to change naming rules/styles/etc.. It is a rabbit hole to go down, since mapping is inherently fun. http://maps.stamen.com/#toner/12/37.7706/-122.3782 - they have free tile servers (obviously, donate if you use them) that are relatively styled. They don't get updated and may not be 100%, but for... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Where can I find maps of Miami with cool designs?

  Check out the toner maps from Stamen Design. They’re my go-to whenever I need a super minimal stripped down map of a location. Just pop an address in, fiddle around with the zoom, and see if that’s along the lines of what you’re looking for. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Real life RPG/exploration game map?

  Http://maps.stamen.com Not what you're asking for, but this page can make some really cool looking maps from real life places. Source: about 3 years ago
