Find a better tileLayer #8

Open DevanB opened 9 years ago

DevanB commented 9 years ago

The current tileLayer we are using is rather "industrial" with all the power lines, railroads, etc marked. We should find something better. Maybe something more topographical? That shows wooded areas good?

Some places I've seen different tiles: Mapbox API Leaflet tileLayer API

This looks really good. Opens up ability to use ESRI, Mapbox and maybe some other tileLayer providers.

I was able to just stick in a new layer.

I tried using leaflet-extras/leaflet-providers but I couldn't get it to load. I didn't look into MapBox or any of the other services that require pay or sign-in.

Did you do this on a branch? If it's on a different beach, push it up and I'll check it out and see what's going on.

If it's on the leaflet beach, you should be able to 'git checkout -b branch_name' and it will carry over your changes (I think), then you can commit and push.

I don't like MapBox because the free version is limited and I'm not interested in paying for map data (yet?).

Just looked a this. It appears to be working; no errors and the map is visibly different.

Did you want me to take a shot at the leaflet-extras/leaflet-providers, or did you find a map that looks good for you?

I'll take another shot at it, maybe tonight. I need to figure out how to do this stuff, but the map in place for now is good enough I think.

New layer looks good.

I'm gonna open this back up till the feature has a PR against it, is deployed, and tested to verify it works. I'll add a "deploy" label to it.
