README
🗺 High Quality GeoJSON maps programmatically generated.
The only GeoJSON maps of the world you will ever need!
## Motivation
The purpose of this project is to **programmatically** extract maps from open
databases like [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org) providing you
with a ready to use GeoJSON map that fits your needs.
Do you believe that this is cool? If so, support us with a ⭐️!
## Table of maps
In this section you can find all the maps generated by this project.
Feel free to [propose](https://github.com/simonepri/geo-maps/issues) new kinds of maps! 🎉
For each map you can click on the image to see a live preview.
Please note that the previews show you the worst resolution available.
See the details for higher resolutions.
All the maps are exported as GeoJSON and available to be downloaded directly from
[GitHub](https://github.com/simonepri/geo-maps/releases) or as package on [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/org/geo-maps).
See the details of each map for more information on how to get started.

## Conversion to other formats
If you need to convert maps in any of Shapefile, TopoJSON, CSV, SVG formats you can use the [mapshaper's web interface](mapshaper.org) to export the map in the format of your need.
## Showcase
Do you use geo-maps in your application? Please [open a Pull Request](https://github.com/simonepri/geo-maps/pulls) to include it here.
We would love to have it in our list:
* [country-iso](https://github.com/simonepri/country-iso): 🗺 Get ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for geographic coordinates.
* [is-sea](https://github.com/simonepri/is-sea): 🌊 Check whether a geographic coordinate is in the sea or not on the earth.
## Development
PRs are **REALLY** welcome.
Scripts used to build maps are all contained in the [gulp](gulp/) folder.
To release the project the following actions needs to be executed from the root.
```
$ npm i
$ npm run test
$ npm run build
$ npm run previews
$ npm run release
$ npm run publish
```
