Leaflet Setup

<script src="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.8.0/dist/leaflet.js"></script>
<style>

</style>
<div id="map" style="width: 100%; height: 100%"></div>
<script>
var map = L.map('map').setView([51.505, -0.09], 13);
var tiles = L.tileLayer('https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png').addTo(map);
</script>
• The above is based off of https://leafletjs.com/examples/quick-start/
• [51.505, -09] is the latitude / longitude, 13 is the zoom
• Current location can be obtained by doing this:
• Real time location updates can be obtained by doing this:
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(pos => {
map.setView([pos.coords.latitude, pos.coords.longitude], 14);
});
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(pos => {
polyline.addLatLng([pos.coords.latitude, pos.coords.longitude]);
});

Tile Sets
Mapbox Satellite OpenStreetMap + TomTom Traffic Flow
USGSTopo (MapServer) Mapbox Light + ISU Environmental Mesonet

Database Setup
1. Install the necessary software:
• Windows: Install OSGeo4W and then open "OSGeo4W Shell".
• Ubuntu: Run the following commands:
2. Download shapefiles from https://www.capmetro.org/metrolabs. Sort by "Recently Updated“
3. Import Routes.shp into MySQL:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gdal-bin
sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev
ogr2ogr -f MySQL MySQL:dbname,host=localhost,user=user,password=pass
Routes.shp -nln tablename -update -append
-t_srs "EPSG:4326" -lco engine=InnoDB -skipfailures

GeoJSON
1. Export from the DB with this SQL:
2. Load the GeoJSON in Leaflet by doing this:
SELECT ST_AsGeoJSON(SHAPE), servicenm, servicetyp
FROM capmetro_routes
WHERE route_id = 550
AND servicenm = '6TRAINMON to THURS';
L.geoJSON(route).addTo(map);

GeoJSON Primitives
Type Example

}
LineString
{
"type": "LineString",
"coordinates": [ [30.0, 10.0], [10.0, 30.0], [40.0, 40.0] ]
}
Polygon
{
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [ [[30.0, 10.0], [40.0, 40.0], [20.0, 40.0], [10.0, 20.0], [30.0, 10.0]] ]
}
{

}

Markers
1. Export from the DB with this SQL:
2. Load the GeoJSON in Leaflet by doing this:
SELECT
stop_name,
CONCAT(latitude, ',', longitude) AS pos

GTFS Realtime
• General Transit Feed Specification
• Developed by Google in 2006
• Uses Protocol Buffers
• Get the download link for "CapMetro Vehicle Positions PB File"
from https://www.capmetro.org/metrolabs. Sort by "Recently Updated"
• Updated every 15s
• composer require google/gtfs-realtime-bindings
• Deprecated: As of February 2019, the official google-protobuf
Google protoc tool doesn’t support proto2 files. As a result we are
deprecating the PHP bindings until official support for proto2 files is
implemented in the Google protocol buffer tools.

Styles
• Colorize layers:
• Colorize markers:
Colorized markers are from https://github.com/pointhi/leaflet-color-markers
L.geoJSON(route, {
color: 'red’,
}).addTo(map);
var redIcon = new L.Icon({
iconUrl: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pointhi/leaflet-color-markers/master/img/marker-icon-2x-red.png’,
shadowUrl: 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/leaflet/0.7.7/images/marker-shadow.png’,
iconSize: [25, 41],
iconAnchor: [12, 41],
popupAnchor: [1, -34],
shadowSize: [41, 41]
});
L.marker([30.264843,-97.738448], {icon: redIcon}).bindPopup('Downtown Station').addTo(map);

More Styles
• Bring train location markers to the front:
• Colorize markers:
• Add Control Layer:
var marker = L.marker(
[train.latitude, train.longitude],
{icon: arrow, rotationAngle: train.bearing, zIndexOffset: 1000}
);
var stations = L.layerGroup();
stations.addLayer(L.marker([30.264843,-97.738448]).bindPopup('Downtown Station’));
stations.addTo(map);
layerControl = L.control.layers().addTo(map);
layerControl.addOverlay(stations, 'Stations');

Labels for Lines
• Using https://github.com/3mapslab/Leaflet.streetlabels
• Merge LineString’s:
• Wrap GeoJSON:
$coords = $rows[0];
unset($rows[0]);
while (count($rows)) {
foreach ($rows as $i => $line) {
if ($coords[count($coords) - 1] == $line[0]) {
$coords = array_merge($coords, array_slice($line, 1));
unset($rows[$i]);
} else if ($coords[0] == $line[count($line) - 1]) {
$coords = array_merge(array_slice($line, 0, -1), $coords);
unset($rows[$i]);
}
}
}
function featureWrapper(geometry, name) {
return feature = {
type: 'Feature’,
properties: {name: name},
geometry: geometry
};
}
$coords = [
'type' => 'LineString’,
'coordinates' => $cords
];

The Narrows: With Labeled Lines

Georeferencing
1 Choose Tool
• ArcGIS
• QGIS
• Georeferencer.com
• MapWarper.net
3 Place Image
1. Extract bounding coordinates:
2. Convert to PNG or WebP
3. Place on map:
gdalinfo exported.tiff
L.imageOverlay(
'exported.webp’, [
// top left
[30.2725146, -97.7578187],
// bottom right
[30.2644510, -97.7496347]
],
{opacity: 0.5}
).addTo(map);
2 Basic Technique

Merging Overlapping GeoTIFFs
• Perform the merge:
• "In areas of overlap, the last image will be copied over earlier ones"
• Copy nextPage.tif as a new layer over temp.tif and trim away at nextPage.tif
• Copy the trimmed layer back to nextPage.tif, delete the old layer, and save as new.tif.
GeoTIFF data will be lost.
gdal_merge -o temp.tif nextPage.tif prevPage.tif

Creating Tile Layers
1
2
3
Copy GeoTIFF data from orig.tif to new.tif
listgeo -no_norm orig.tif > orig.geo
geotifcp -g orig.geo new.tif temp.tif
Merge the TIFFs
gdal_merge -o merged.tif master.tif temp.tif
Rm master.tif; rm temp.tif; mv merged.tif master.tif
Create Tile Layer
Gdal2tiles master.tif
4 Use Tile Layer
L.tileLayer('https://domain.tld/sanborn/{z}/{x}/{y}.png’, {
tms: 1,
opacity: 0.7,
minZoom: 13,
maxZoom: 19
});

Tile Layer Caveats
"OSM does NOT pre-render every tile. Pre-rendering all tiles would use around 54
TB of storage. As the following table shows, the majority of tiles are never viewed.
In fact just 1.79% are viewed. It works out this way because the majority of tiles
are at zoom level 18 and actually the majority contain nothing of interest. By
following an on-the-fly rendering approach we can avoid rendering these tiles
unnecessarily. The tile view count column shows how many tiles have been
produced on the OSM Tile server."
