I recently relaunch londinium.com with a number of the mapping features I have been working on.

The frontpage of londinium.com now has a number of different styles of maps with links to airports and main stations alongside postcodes. You can access these in the top right corner menu. I have added all the mapbox ones, but there are a lot more.

This is on top of showing the Openstreetmap tags / map features (eg, supermarkets)

The features are extracted using overpass-api which is an frontend for the data held in the OSM system.

It is built using laravel which is the php framework i have used most over the past few years

The maps use leaflet js. You can see the range of base maps available on http://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/index.html

Useful Leaflet JS links

Here are a number of links i found useful in developing the website.

Ideas and notes

• The current site uses the data from overpass turbo, and can be a bit slow to load. Also it times out sometimes. Interested in hosting this locally.
• Also would like to add a loading message to show the data is loading. If it fails, perhaps it could show an error message
• There is some inconsistency with the data in the OSM system. For example, there most twitter links include the full url, whilst others are @twitter links and others are just the twitter account. Need to address this in someway.
