Side by side leaflet (Toner comparison)

Comparison of Stamen Design's previous Toner style with new Toner data as of 2014.

Borrowed from Andrew Harvey's gist here and his live demo.

Extended with Leaflet-hash by Michael Evans

This demonstrates using topojson.merge, a new feature in TopoJSON 1.6, to merge multiple polygons into a single polygon whilst removing interior borders. (An alternative approach is to draw the polygons twice.)

Unlike mbostock's original example, this uses a pre-projected topojson file and a null projection.

Color ramps: *-fill

Basic usage

marker-fill: ramp([column_name], colorbrewer(Greens));
                  |                    |
                  v                    |
      column to calculate ramp         |

Zoomable raster world map (which happens to be using Stamen's Map Stack).

Apparently I broke it by trying a projection other than the original. :(

Based off Calvin Metcalf's version, which in turn is based off Jason Davies map which is a combination of Mike Bostock’s raster reprojection, automatic projection tiles and a MapBox terrain example.

Thanks to Mike Bostock and Nelson Minar for their comments and encouragement! And Obviously Jason Davies for making the original.

OSM Data Issues in Asia and Africa

High priority, easy fixes:

1. Admin1 Capital Cities in the Phillipines incorrectly have capital=yes when they should have capital=4 or admin_level=4
2. Many cities have missing population data, this will prevent cities with larger populations from rendering at low zooms. Main country of concern is China, which may also have erroneous population data added by a OSM contributor to promote certain cities over others.
3. South Korea: many features incorrectly have place=town resulting in an overwhelming amount of erroneous town labels. See this issue in OSM Carto for more info.

High priority, but requires more work:
