Document all NPS mapping resources investigated this session
A reference doc (docs/nps-resources.adoc) covering everything looked at
while pulling icons/controls/theme colors from NPS's mapping ecosystem:
what's actually in use (symbol-library, home-button, the Park Tiles-inspired
offline palette), what was considered and deliberately skipped (svg-icons,
markdown-handlebars, the unmerged overview/carto/wms branches) and why, the
Park Tiles cartography research (Harpers Ferry Center lineage, the four
style variants, why the actual tile service is off-limits via Mapbox
Atlas licensing, the public style JSON and Mapbox Studio style IDs found),
and the still-open upstream PR revising artwork for three icons we use.

Worth having as a knowledge base rather than re-deriving any of this from
scratch next time — NPS's tooling has repeatedly turned out to be a better
source than building something from nothing.

MapTool

A mapping application written in Ruby with Sinatra.

The project’s shape is still open — this is the initial scaffold.

Status

Early scaffold. The web application serves a vector map (MapLibre GL JS), with an online style and an optional offline style backed by a local PMTiles file, an animated RainViewer radar overlay, GPX upload/display (points and tracks, organized in folders), and a live position marker from a local GNSS receiver via gpsd.

Requirements

  • Ruby (see .ruby-version) and Bundler

Getting started

bundle install
bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb

Then open http://127.0.0.1:4567 in a browser.
