Using Maps as Overlays

You can use the explorer tile maps and the heatmap as overlays elsewhere. For that, use the following URLs:

For the base layers, you can use these URLs:

http://localhost:5000/tile/grayscale/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
http://localhost:5000/tile/pastel/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
http://localhost:5000/tile/color/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
http://localhost:5000/tile/inverse_grayscale/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

For the explorer tiles, you can use these:

http://localhost:5000/explorer/14/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=colorful_cluster
http://localhost:5000/explorer/14/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=max_cluster
http://localhost:5000/explorer/14/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=first
http://localhost:5000/explorer/14/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=last
http://localhost:5000/explorer/14/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=visits
http://localhost:5000/explorer/14/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=missing

http://localhost:5000/explorer/17/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=colorful_cluster
http://localhost:5000/explorer/17/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=max_cluster
http://localhost:5000/explorer/17/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=first
http://localhost:5000/explorer/17/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=last
http://localhost:5000/explorer/17/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=visits
http://localhost:5000/explorer/17/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?color_strategy=missing

And for the heatmap, you can use these:

http://localhost:5000/heatmap/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

Adding them to Bikerouter

Go to Bikerouter and then you can add these as overlay layers. I show it here with the explorer tiles on zoom 17 with the "colorful cluster" strategy:

And now you can plan routes with your explorer tiles overlaid. Or add the heatmap. Or both.

Style JSON endpoint for MapLibre GL clients

For applications that consume a MapLibre GL style document rather than a plain tile URL (e.g. Wanderer), GAP can generate one on the fly:

http://localhost:5000/explorer/{zoom}/style.json?color_strategy={strategy}

If map_style_url is set in config.json, that style is fetched and extended with a gap-explorer-{zoom}-{strategy} source and matching raster layer. Otherwise a minimal raster style is generated using the configured map_tile_url as the base layer. Both the style and the underlying explorer tile endpoints send Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so external browser-based map applications can fetch them directly.
