Provides an interface to 'Mapzen'-based APIs (including geocode.earth, Nextzen, and NYC GeoSearch) for geographic search and geocoding, isochrone calculation, and vector data to draw map tiles. See < https://www.mapzen.com/documentation/> for more information. The original Mapzen has gone out of business, but 'rmapzen' can be set up to work with any provider who implements the Mapzen API.
NOTE: Mapzen has shut down.
However, the rmapzen package can be used with other PELIAS
providers. The specific hosting
service can be set up with mz_set_host. For known providers, rmapzen
includes pre-configured API set up functions:
mz_set_search_host_geocode.earth to set up
geocode.earth as a search (includes
geocoding, autocomplete, etc) providermz_set_search_host_nyc_geosearch() to set up GeoSearch from NYC
Planning Labs (currently in
beta) as a search provider.mz_set_tile_host_nextzen to set up
Nextzen as a vector tile providerIf you know of an API that uses PELIAS that is not included here, let me know.
rmapzen is a client for the Mapzen API. For an introduction, detailed
examples, and installation instructions, see:
