Is it still not possible to use english names for all countries even in non-english Countries in OpenStreetMaps - openstreetmap

Not sure if this helps. I am using vue-leaflet and using OpenStreetMaps('https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png') as tileProvider.

That's because your TileLayer URL tile.openstreetmap.org uses local names for labels. Labels in England will be in English, labels in France will be in French and so on.
If you want to have all-English labels then use an all-English tile server. Read map internationalization for more information. Also make sure to check the usage policy of the tile server you have chosen.
Please note that his question has already been answered dozens of time.

Can I create multiple different routes in the same area/map in Google Earth Pro?

I am attempting to create more than one possible route for a sailboat charter in the British Virgin Islands this year. I am trying to use Google Earth Pro to map out those routes. It worked great to map out one route option. I cannot find a way to save that route and create a different route within the same group of islands. It appears to me (in my ignorance) that once one creates a route in any spot on the planet, that is the only route one can have in that spot unless one totally deletes the existing route and starts over? Is that true?
Is there a way to create multiple "what-if" routes and save them separately as routes and not as just an images or screen captures?
If not in Google Earth Pro, should I be looking into some other product?
I created one "what-if" route. I can save it off as an image. I looked into "layers" hoping I could create, show, and hide my own layers. It looks to me like they only have pre-canned layers? I tried creating a second "My Place" but I can't find a way to show one "My Place" and hide another when they are both in the same location. Is that possible.
Note: If this is not the sort of question one would ask in stackoverflow, sorry. I was surprised when I searched internet looking for a solution that it brought up similar questions here. I hope it's ok to post this here and that someone can shed some light. THANKS!!

Display US State Abbreviations instead of full name on openMapTiles map?

I'm using a locally hosted openMapTiles server with a custom style based on positron. I'm looking to have US State two letter abbreviations instead of State names on my maps. Is that data able to be referenced? If so, how do I pull it into the place_state layer?
I've tried these, but no abbreviations are shown.
{iso_a2:latin}{iso_a2:nonlatin}
{abbrev:latin}{abbrev:nonlatin}
How?

How to set up multiple languages in Typo3 correctly?

this may be a noob question - but I hope to get an answer from an experienced person,
because we have to switch our settings and would like to do it correctly the first time.
At the moment the default language is set to German. English is defined as another language.
When somebody from France looks at the website, it is shown in German first, he then has to switch to english manually. For an english visitor everything is fine.
So what should we do:
1) Set the default language to english and have german as second language? What about guys from Switzerland, Luxemburg, Liechtenstein and Austria then. Do these have to be defined seperately as they are also seperately selectable as windows languages?
2) Is there an option to simply say: Every visitor that is not german speaking should get the english website in default? And even in this case, will this then recognize the different german options explained in 1?
Sorry if these questions are stupid. ;-)
Thank you,
Fabian
Your aim is to change how visitors see the website, but your are asking how to change the editing of the website accordingly. Luckily it is a CMS and you can separate those concerns.
What you seem to look after is a component that analyses the IP/language/browser properties of the visitor at first page load and that there are rules what to show (e.g. show English version except your mentioned countries). There are extensions for that specific purpose like https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/locate or others: https://extensions.typo3.org/?L=0&id=1&tx_solr%5Bq%5D=language
That way you don't need to change the default at all.

Open street map server with correct India Map

Due to statutory requirements, we need to create our own open street map server with correct India map which includes the disputed boundaries. I have already installed OSM server using the instructions given in the following link:
https://www.linuxbabe.com/linux-server/openstreetmap-tile-server-ubuntu-16-04#comment-13257
I also have the correct shape files but I am not able to render the correct maps. I can still see disputed regions not part of India.
any body have any experience, kindly help me.
Do you already know about the OpenStreetMap India project? You can get more information about it at their GitHub project or via the talk-in mailing list. For personal projects you can also use their tile server.
Finally I am able to correct the India maps on my own tile server. For details please find the link below:

Thanks.

Custom Maps in iPad App

I just want to build a drill down map like this - Drill Down Map
Here I want to show some data on tapping of each regions.I am out of clue. How can I ? What should I use ? From where to start ?
EDIT : In the link it's showing the country name on mouse over, instead of that I want to show some data/info of the country on touch. Please visit the map shown in the link,you'll get the whole idea.
Thanks !!
If you want total control on the map layout, and be able to check which country the users taps, there's no secret : you need to have boundaries of all countries you want to detect.
Here's the global approach I would use to reimplement something that looks like the map you linked to (I can you into more details if you want, but at first, here's the global approach) :
Get the data of the boundaries of the countries you need. This can be done using OpenStreetMap.org data.
[EDIT] I just came accross this website to download countries boundaries as files you can then use with tilemill : http://www.gadm.org/country
Use this data with tilemill (http://mapbox.com/tilemill/) : this tool is able to design maps using a language that looks like CSS but dedicated for maps. The results is great and the tool great as well. This tool also support shapes files, so if you can get the countries boundaries as shapefiles, you'll be able to use them with tilemill, and this will be easier than using .osm files from open street map). Have a look here http://mapbox.com/tilemill/data/ for the supported formats.
Then, with tilemill, export your map as an MBTile file (this file contains all tiles needed to get the map rendered at different zoom levels).
Use the route-me project to display the resulting MBTile file (in its latest version, route-me is able to do that, this feature has been implemented by the mapbox team to support their open format MBTile).
Guys from Mapbox have published a good tutorial "from data to maps" here : http://mapbox.com/demo/making_massredistrict/ this may help as well
Your best bet is to use CloudMade ( http://cloudmade.com/ ). They provide custom map builders program where you can build custom maps and can integrate those maps in your iOS app.
Depends what you are looking for. To implement the linked example it's enough with a giant image that you can split in tiles using CATiledLayer. You'll find examples if you google a little, PhotoScroller is one. If you want to display real maps you have to investigate the route me project.
I don't think that using images could be good option.Check this link - arcgis-iphone api. I am not so sure but you can get some idea from this.
Happy to help..
