The old link only ever surfaced one nearby article at a time, buried in whatever POI's popup you happened to open, and only for uploaded files with a category. Replaced it with a standalone "Wikipedia" toggle under the renamed "Tracks & Points" panel: enabling it adds a live map layer that refetches GET /api/kiwix/nearby on every pan/zoom and plots every nearby article as its own point. kiwix-serve's own geo search never echoes back a result's coordinates (confirmed live against the real production ZIM, both its HTML and ?format=xml output) — it only filters by distance from a point. So Maptool::Kiwix.nearby fetches each matching article's own page too and reads its <meta name="geo.position"> tag, which every geotagged Wikipedia article carries. Tried parallelizing those per-article fetches with threads first; measured no improvement against the real ZIM (kiwix-serve appears to serialize requests regardless), so it stayed sequential — ~1.6s for a 30-result page, fine for a refetch-on-pan-end layer. Clicking a point opens a small popup linking to the article (proxied through the existing /kiwix/* passthrough). New WIKI_ICON (NPS's bookstore-22.svg) marks these, kept out of POI_ICONS since that set doubles as notes.js's icon-picker option list and this fixed-glyph layer has no per-feature category to key off of.
MapTool
Table of Contents
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.rbThen open http://127.0.0.1:4567 in a browser.
