I built GeoUtil.com to provide a free, browser-based toolkit for geographic data analysis.
It offers:
- Interactive Map Tools: Measure distances and areas directly on the map.
- Data Format Converters: Convert between TopoJSON and GeoJSON formats seamlessly.
- Coordinate Utilities: Perform conversions and other coordinate-based operations.
No sign-up required, and all tools run client-side for privacy and speed.
Built with open standards and designed for developers, educators, and anyone interested in geographic data.
This is really cool! I was doing some research last year on OpenStreetMap and wishing that there was tools like distance measurement there by default. Thanks for building and sharing this!
I made something like this around 10 years ago to show wireless frequency coverage, luckily the country I was living in is small enough and close to the equator, I didn't support the curvature of the earth so I can't start to imagine how difficult it must have been to visualize it in the browser https://sourceforge.net/projects/waire/ in my case the earth was kinda flat lol, it was fun parsing the map data available back then and playing with SVGs, back then the rendering engine from Opera browser was unmatched
Has a very strong AI code smell. Still it seems to be a decent turf.js wrapper for GIS professionals who don't have too much JS experience. Most should be able to use CLI tools at least for all of this.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!
Some coordinate conversions need a date (as the plates shift over time). Are you planning to add that?
à propos the distance tool, please let the user:
- type coordinate pairs by hand
- copy coordinates entered by clicking
otherwise, it's a great tool!
you should have made it a Show HN, thanks for the discovery and for paintmymap!

What are your future plans? Will you open source the code? Will deploy a library that everybody could implement it in their apps…etc??
If you read the about page it lists the open source tools it used to make it, primarily turf.js so a library for others to do it already exists.
Is it AI coded (aka derivative of illegally slurped-up third-party code)?
