MyPlaces

MyPlaces is a project that enables to present collections of places (POIs – Points of Interest) on a map.   Project utilizes open map services and data from OpenStreetMap project  and builds upon them.   MyPlaces themselves are written in Python leveraging many available open source  packages and libraries.  Postgresql and Postgis are used to store and access data..  This project is a result on my explorations into world of GIS and online maps technologies.

Current MyPlaces version is running as a free service at http://myplaces.zderadicka.eu. (retry couple times if you get 503 error because container might be down)

Features

MyPlaces can now:

  • Import Places/POIs from different formats (currently CSV, GPX, GEOJSON)
  • Export collection to various formats (currently same as import formats)
  • Browse various collections of places,   provide searches (including some spatial searches)
  • Visualize places on maps – with various options (clustered, non-clustered, two OSM based base layers)
  • Edit and maintain collections easily anywhere
  • MyPlaces are specially designed to provide meaningful access on mobile devices.
  • All things around to make it a service on Internet – (user accounts,  access control etc.)
  • Some very special features – like Voronoi diagrams visualization.
  • Designed for horizontal scalability (can very easily split back-end services into several nodes)
