5 reasons to use Maplibre | Introduction to Mapping Libraries

Absolutely loving these videos. Been binging them all night. Exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you for making them and please keep them coming!

About a year since I switched from leaflet to maplibre for larger projects that require denser data and the webgl rendering speed is really incredible. As much as I love leaflet I can't justify using it for anything large anymore. I'm curious to hear your opinion on the dev process of maplibre and react. Finding it a bit hard to implement some of the mapping complexity with react vs vanilla JS

Hi Raphael, thanks for the comment! Yeah, for folks familiar a bit with mapping, Maplibre is definitely the more modern solution. As for React... I mainly write mapping applications in React and I quite enjoy it, but it does have some particularities to watch out for! Most of all, I never use React libraries (React Mapbox, for example) and prefer to just use the maplibre-gl library directly. I'll put that on the list to make a video about!

[@raphael3666]

cool - will be on the lookout for the react vid!

Great video!

I have noticed that in the past they used a lot of Open Layer and today it has decreased and I see more people using Leaflet, will Leaflet be forgotten with the growth of MapLibre?

[@learnwithmapster]

I feel like Maplibre is the sensible choice, but it's just harder to learn for developers, basically!

Hello, great video! I have a question, can I use MapLibre for a React Native Expo project? I want to render only a part of the map (for example, a city) and use navigation with custom markers

[@learnwithmapster]

That's a great question! I don't think you can. BUT, Maplibre does have a React Native version they are actively working on (github.com/maplibre/maplibre-react-native). That said, I don't think it's integrated with Expo :(

@@learnwithmapster thanks for responding! I think I’ll try with mapbox :)

Which one is better for a tracking app, MapLibre or Leaflet?

[@learnwithmapster]

I'd generally recommend Maplibre for a more modern mapping app

Hello! I was wondering if can mapbox provide indoor navigation as well?

[@learnwithmapster]

Hi! Maplibre and Mapbox can visualize indoor navigation, but providing it out-of-the-box isn't really there. You'd generally have to provide your own detailed floorplans and then create some custom algorithms to manage the actual navigation for users inside.

@@learnwithmapster Thank you so much for your response! Hopefully I can work with these on ym thesis project! Thank you!! 💖
