Annotating

MapHub

Maphub is a web portal for georeferencing and annotating digitized historic maps. Georeferencing transforms the map image to align with real world geographic coordinates, while the annotations are overlaps plus notes. Maphub suggests possible tags for the annotation based on its text and location; tags link to related Wikipedia articles. Once created, user-contributed annotations are shared via the Maphub Open Annotation API. A first prototype of Maphub, using digitized maps from the Library of Congress’ Map Division, can be found at http://maphub.herokuapp.com/.

mapline

Mapline (previously Topo.ly) is a free and paid online service for capturing and geocoding spatial data from spreadsheets and creating point, territory and heat maps. It is free for limited use (quite generous) and paid when you need to map significant (we are talking substantial) datasets. It's intuitive, easy to use and produces high quality interactive maps. Free service has only minimal map customization options and does not include the visual analysis that is included with the fee options.

Visualization

Mapstraction

Mapstraction is a Javascript library. It provides developers with a single interface for a wide variety of Javascript map APIs including Leaflet, Google, Bing, OpenLayers and ESRI's ArcGIS. A key benefit is that once a developer has loaded Mapstraction, s/he can to switch from one map API to another quickly and easily - often only needing to change a few lines of code. Mapstraction displays points, lines, polygons and markers on the maps, and also allows developers to add base maps and overlays.

MapTiler

MapTiler allows efficient and fast multi-core paralellized rendering of raster geodata (TIFF/GeoTIFF, MrSID, ECW, JPEG2000, Erdas HFA, NOAA BSB/KAP, Ozi Explorer OZF2/OZFx3, JPEG, GIF, PNG and more…) into map tiles suitable for Google Maps API mashups (OpenStreetMap, Microsoft Bing, MapQuest, MapBox, Google Earth; MBTiles format is supported), native mobile applications (iPhone/iPad/Android) with Apple MapKit, RouteMe or OSMDroid. It automatically produces large seamless maps from several input files (MapTiler Pro) and directly optimizes the produced tiles for minimal filesize which allows extremely fast distribution of maps from any ordinary webserver or from a cloud CDN (Rackspace Cloud Files, Apache, PHP, Linux, DropBox, Google Drive, Amazon S3/CloudFront, Google Cloud Storage). Interaction with the software and tips are available in Youtube tutorials at:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGHe6Moaz52PiQd1mO-S9QrCjqSn1v-ay

MapWarper

Map Warper is a tool for digitally aligning ("rectifying") historical maps to match today's precise maps. It is used publicly by the NYPL to crowdsource georectification of their own library of digitised historical maps. In the wider version developed by Tim Waters user supplied maps can be georectified for subsequent use in your own mapping projects.

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
