The Location of Things from A to (X,Y,Z)
summary
Covers concrete tools and demos: using GeoJSON uploaded to an XYZ geospatial database (premium tier with ~10 spaces) and visualized with Tangram + Leaflet, showing a working demo that renders ~307 Amsterdam trees and an earthquake feed; demonstrates geocoding, reverse and batch geocoding, Places search, routing / matrix / isoline routes, traffic and fleet telematics, indoor maps and Wi‑Fi positioning (browser sends nearby SSIDs to a positioning API for a lat/lon and accuracy). GeoJSON → XYZ spaces Tangram + Leaflet rendering Wi‑Fi-based positioning 300+ trees visualized
