Roads, Railways, Runways & Rivers


I’ve been impressed by OpenSkiStats’ Which Approach do You Ski to create my very own interactive map for visualizing the orientations of roads, railways, runways, and rivers in cities and cities world wide.

In Which Approach Do You Ski, OpenSkiStats created a collection of “compass rose” visualizations that illustrate the sturdy poleward tendency of ski runs throughout the globe. These ski slope orientation visualizations jogged my memory of Geoff Boeing’s Evaluating Metropolis Avenue Orientations which makes use of compass roses to indicate the orientations of metropolis road grids world wide.

Impressed by Geoff’s visualizations Volodymyr Agafonkin created his Street Orientations Map, a Mapbox-powered map that lets customers view the road grid orientations of any city or metropolis worldwide. Utilizing Volodymyr’s code, I’ve now developed my very own Transportation Orientations Map.

My Transportation Orientations interactive map lets you view the orientations of roads, railways, rivers, and runways anyplace on the earth. It supplies an intuitive method to observe and analyze how these options are oriented inside any space you select.

Key Options:

  1. Dynamic Compass Rose – The compass rose updates in real-time as you progress across the map or zoom out and in. It displays the orientations of the chosen function set within the seen map space.
  2. Interactive Geocoding – Rapidly find anywhere on the earth utilizing the built-in search bar powered by OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim API.
  3. Customizable Layers – concentrate on particular infrastructure varieties by choosing from roads, railways, runways, or rivers. The chosen options are highlighted on the map in crimson, and their orientations are mirrored within the compass rose.
  4. Downloadable Visualizations – Add a private contact by coming into customized textual content beneath the compass rose. As soon as glad, you possibly can obtain the compass rose visualization as a PNG picture with a single click on.

My map is basically a clone of Volodymyr’s authentic Street Orientations Map. All I’ve finished is adapt it for MapLibre, add the power to view the orientations of railways, runways, and rivers, and embody an choice to obtain the compass rose as a picture.
