Leaflet is a leading open source JavaScript library for creating interactive, mobile-friendly maps. Leaflet is light at just about 38 KB, but is already fully equipped with all the mapping features you could need. Leaflet is simple but efficient. It doesn’t try to do everything for everybody, rather it focuses on making the basic things work perfectly. It comes ready with exceptional layering tools, customization features such as pure CSS3 popups and controls, map controls and more right out of the box, and works on all major desktop and mobile platforms. Leaflet also comes with a range of interaction features, and can be extended with an abundance of great plugins.

Mapbox GL JS is a JavaScript library that uses WebGL to render interactive maps from vector tiles and Mapbox styles. It is part of the Mapbox GL ecosystem, which includes Mapbox Mobile, a compatible renderer written in C++ with bindings for desktop and mobile platforms. Mapbox GL JS is part of the cross-platform Mapbox GL ecosystem, which also includes compatible native SDKs for applications on Android, iOS, macOS, Qt, and React Native. Mapbox provides building blocks to add location features like maps, search, and navigation into any experience you create. To get started with GL JS or any of our other building blocks, sign up for a Mapbox account. In addition to GL JS, this repository contains code, issues, and test fixtures that are common to both GL JS and the native SDKs. Mapbox GL JS v2 enables 3D mapping with elevated terrain, customizable skies and atmospheric lighting, a new camera, and performance enhancements.

OpenLayers makes it easy to put a dynamic map in any web page. It can display map tiles, vector data and markers loaded from any source. OpenLayers has been developed to further the use of geographic information of all kinds. It is completely free, Open Source JavaScript, released under the 2-clause BSD License (also known as the FreeBSD). Pull tiles from OSM, Bing, MapBox, Stamen, and any other XYZ source you can find. OGC mapping services and untiled layers also supported. Render vector data from GeoJSON, TopoJSON, KML, GML, Mapbox vector tiles, and other formats. Leverages Canvas 2D, WebGL, and all the latest greatness from HTML5. Mobile support out of the box. Build lightweight custom profiles with just the components you need. Style your map controls with straight-forward CSS. Hook into different levels of the API or use 3rd party libraries to customize and extend functionality.

ARKit uses camera and motion data to map out the local world as you move around. CoreLocation uses wifi and GPS data to determine your global location, with a low degree of accuracy. ARKit + CoreLocation combines the high accuracy of AR with the scale of GPS data. The potential for combining these technologies is huge, with so many potential applications across many different areas. Allow items to be placed within the AR world using real-world coordinates. Dramatically improved location accuracy, using recent location data points combined with knowledge about movement through the AR world. The improved location accuracy is currently in an “experimental” phase, but could be the most important component. The library and demo come with a bunch of additional features for configuration. It’s all fully documented to be sure to have a look around.

Astral Projection is a testing tool for iOS applications that use the CoreLocation framework. AP allows for testing location-aware apps on both the device and the simulator, using configurable location data sources like a GPX file or a remote agent.

This plugin displays Google Maps in your application. This plugin uses these libraries for each platforms. The Google Play Services SDK version. You need to specify the same version number with all other plugins. Check out the latest version. This plugin requires the Android support library v4. The minimum version is 24.1.0. This message is displayed when your application requests location permission for only necessary times. Google Maps JavaScript API v3 works on any platforms, but it does not work if device is offline. In Android and iOS applications, this plugin displays native Google Maps views, which is faster than Google Maps JavaScript API v3. And it even works if the device is offline. In Browser platform, this plugin displays JS map views (Google Maps JavaScript API v3). It should work as PWA (progressive web application), but the device has to be online.

MAPS.ME is an open source offline maps application for iOS and Android. It provides detailed offline maps of the world and is built on top of crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data, with its own binary format for map styles.

Interactive, thoroughly customizable maps in native Android, iOS, macOS, Node.js, and Qt applications, powered by vector tiles and OpenGL. A C++ library that powers customizable vector maps in native applications on multiple platforms by taking stylesheets that conform to the Mapbox Style Specification, applying them to vector tiles that conform to the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification, and rendering them using OpenGL or Metal. To embed interactive maps into a native application using a platform-specific language, install the Mapbox Maps SDK. We use CMake to build Mapbox GL Native for various platforms, including Linux, Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. The provided command, executed from the root of this repository tree, will build Mapbox GL Native targeting your host architecture given that you have all the dependencies installed and run the example app.

Lets you monitor your GPS-phone. You have full control of your own data. Both client software (for phones) and server software is free open source, so you might set up your own server or use the default one at opengeotracker.org

This project is for an iPhone/iPad viewer that is used to display FAA digital aviation charts. It also includes the support files necessary to prepare digital charts as downloadable tiles and a point of sale web site used by end users to obtain the charts. The viewer's features includes generating track points, which can be saved as GPX. The viewer can also be used to plot flights. The point of sale purchase system is Drupal based with a MySQL database. The remote device connects to the database using a Glassfish server and Jersey. This app has been available on Apple's iTunes App Store for over two years and has a 4+ star ratings. I have moved on to other things and while I've been maintaining it I'd like to see it continue to improve. That's is why I'm releasing it as an open source project.

VKGeo is the best mobile application to determine the location of your family members and friends from VKontakte social network and to share your location with them.

VKGeo is available for iOS 11+ and Android 5.0+ environments, as well as HTML5 application (with limited functionality).

libosmscout offers applications simple, high-level interfaces to offline rendering and routing functionalities based on OpenStreetMap data. It does so by preprocessing *.osm data files and generating binary data and index files for fast access.

Many people have met the challenge of finding out their location, while not having a gps. We have developed a solution to this challenge. wLBS is the world's first completely open Wi-Fi geolocation system.
