Mapping Resources

Query Data

There are many sources of query data for use with Ultra.

OpenStreetMap

Ultra was initially made to visualize OSM data via Overpass queries. OSM continues to be an excellent source of data for Ultra, and can be consumed in more ways than one.

Overpass

OverpassQL or Overpass XML queries are supported by the overpass query provider.

Ohsome

The ohsome API can be used via the ohsome query provider to loader quanties of OSM data with a simpler filtering syntax than Overpass.

Bunting Labs

Using separate N/S/E/W bbox placeholders, the geojson provider can load data from the Bunting Labs API

OSM API

The osmxml and osmjson providers can load data directly from the OSM API.

Tiles

There are a variety of providers of tiled OSM data.

OpenStreetMap US Tileserver

Née the OSM Americana Community Vector Tile Server, OSM US hosts OpenMapTiles on tile.ourmap.us. For usage, see their policy.

Google My Maps

The kml provider can directly load Google My Maps URLs.

Natural Earth

Natural Earth Data data is available as GeoJSON from the geojson.xyz CDN

US Census Bureau

State boundaries from the US Census Bureau data is available as GeoJSON from github.com/glynnbird/usstatesgeojson

Wilderness.net

Wilderness.net provides GIS data for Wildernes Areas in the USA. The data files need to be downloaded, converted to tiles or GeoJSON, and hosted before using them with Ultra

All The Places

All The Places provides GeoJSON files for a many retail establishments, scraped from their websites.

ATP doesn't serve the files with CORS headers, so you must re-host them with the appropriate headers yourself.

Overture Maps

The Overture foundation makes map data derived from various sources available. It needs to be processed and hosted before use with Ultra.
