I am trying to replace the default location points and addresses with my own points and addresses. I have uploaded a geojson with parcel centroid points, address, and assessor parcel number. I would like to display this information when the user clicks on an address. Is this possible?
geojson upload
You can follow this add points to a web map tutorial series to achieve the functionality you are looking for. Since it sounds like you have already uploaded your data to Mapbox as a dataset or tileset, the next steps will be to create a style and then add interactivity by displaying popups containing the desired information when clicked.

Currently I am using Selenium and Folium to download OpenStreetMap maps... The issue I am encountering now is that, for my next assignment, I have to download 5 million images, and my current Python script is too slow. Having that one running in the background for hours on my laptop is not really an option.
Currently, my script opens the browser, saves the screen and extracts the nxn pixels image I need.
Does anybody know of a smarter way of extracting maps from OpenStreetMap?
Currently, I have a CSV list of 5'ish million x & y coordinates of points, and I need to download a map for each one of these in png-format... How should I proceed?
I hope you are not downloading from openstreetmap.org tile servers, because this is strictly discouraged as you can see on https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ under "Bulk Downloading".
It might make sense for you to setup an own tileserver or subscribe to some tile-server service. There are static map services, which allow you to download the combined map image of an area, see
https://justmarkup.com/articles/2014-05-27-overview-of-static-map-solutions/#openstreetmap
for example.
This mentions Mapquest and Mapbox.
Does anyone know how to create a link to a specific location within a Google Drawings file? I can do this within a Google Docs file or a Google Sheets file, but I've been unsuccessful in finding a similar solution for Google Drawings.
Use Case: We use Google Drawings to make large, multi-page environment/network diagrams that require scrolling left-to-right and/or top-to-bottom to view the entire document. It would be handy to be able to create hyperlink to a specific table or shape within the drawing so that users can "jump" immediately to relevant information.
As an example within Google Docs, I can jump to a specific heading in a multi-page file using a hyperlink in this format:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U1t-k03PrssJOeksicKutSdatHmryD2QQqPFIHKd8/edit#heading=h.aknee4rv7kxd
As another example within Google Sheets, I can jump to a specific named range within a multi-tab file using a hyperlink in this format:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_mJI6_rsiekHf3q3bk1pB71A82zg-T49WLSVdFc9zE2DL8/edit#rangeid=1872655639
I've been unable to find similar functionality within the Google Drawings app, and I'm hoping that maybe someone else has.
Is it possible to add and sync points on a map + numbered markers via mapbox? For example if I wanted to have 20 map points in San Francisco with markers labeled 1-20 and then another 20 map points in the East Bay with markers labeled 1-20 would that be possible to add and sync via a google doc? or would I need to manually enter those points?
Have a look at this REST API: https://www.mapbox.com/developers/api/static/#markers
You could write a script that pulls info from the Google spreadsheet and adds markers using that API.
I hope someone can help or at least point me in the right direction. I'm currently building an iPhone application that requires the input of a zip code to find a location. For example - if the user opens the app the first thing they see is a text box that requires them to input a 5 digit number (zip code) to find various businesses near that location. There is also a slider bar that has 5mi to 100mi radius. So, once the zip code input and the user has selected how much mileage and pressed the submit button, it should show the lists of businesses that are local to that area. Does that make sense?
Thanks a bunch everyone.
First of all zip code does not map specifically to one location . It may refer to disjoint sets of location as well (this happens in India ) One zip code like 400093 refers to diffrent place in India and might refer some different location in Korea . There is no central server which could provide you with these specification. check for google API (check here for google API) to look for alternatives .
For your use case I would suggest you to look Four square API. get user co-ordinates , use geo location to detect their place or directly call four square api to get the useful information.
FourSqaure API
You can do this in your app, or make a web-service that will get the imput zip code and return the region.
It's a huge work. In couple of words:
Make a plist file that will have as keys all the zip codes you can load into it. Take a look here, they are not few. And set the values as the region names.
Once you have the zip code, you can find the region. Then, depending on the user's selected range, you can present the closest regions.
Also look here, for detailed explanation of zip codes' formatting. You will have to learn a bit in order to be able to detect closest regions of a selected zip code.
As a fast, but not secure way - you can find a free web service that does the job (takes zip, gives region), without building your own server-side (or method in the app), but as I said, it's not secure.
Work.
my client prepared google map with points on. Now he wants that points on map in iPhone app. Is there way to export points from map prepared by him ?
If your client prepared the map in Google Maps, then he can use the "KML" link in his Google Map to download a file with all his data points in it, in KML format.
Did he use javascript to prepare the points and can you get that? If so, use the source.
Did he use maps.google.com to prepare it by dropping points on that? If so, click the URL button and you'll should see the points embedded in the URL, at least that is true for driving directions.
