Plotting Markers
Very cool app! Is there any way to plot markers on the map? (e.g. if I wanted to put markers on countries where web traffic was originating from)?
It's currently not possible but wouldn't be too hard to achieve – given that one has time for further development. This sounds similar to the feature wish #35.
There is a (slowly ongoing) MapSCII refactor to version 2 with full support for GeoJSON piping and loading upcoming - time is spare but love is big, so stay tuned :)
this would be so amazing for so many reasons. would be SO nice to have even any sort default markers, taking lat longs as params.
[ [lat,lng]... ]
I could use this in 100 ways with a bunch of node based terminal programs I've made. IE: weather data, testing API's, dumping micro controllers previous positions etc.
Man, if i could do that in terminal and quickly lookup locations relative to even a handful of points. would be awesome. Regardless, its awe inspiring work!
Yep that would be great, especially with GeoJSON support.
Imagine cat route.geojson | mapscii!
Man this would be cool. I am a HAM radio operator that does APRS that can show locations of HAM stations on a map such as http://aprs.fi can. I'd love to be able to integrate this app to show beacons on the map in real time.
If I am understanding correctly, MAPSCII pulls its map data from webAPIs and renders it. Is it possible to host your own mapAPI, update the markers on the map server and then just use MAPSCII as a viewer?
