Baritone
Google maps for block game
A Minecraft pathfinder bot. Baritone is the pathfinding system used in Impact since 4.4. How to immediately get started: Type #goto 1000 500 in chat to go to x=1000 z=500. Type #mine diamond_ore to mine diamond ore. Type #stop to stop. For more, read the usage page and/or watch this tutorial playlist. For other versions of Minecraft or more complicated situations or for development, see Installation & setup. Also consider just installing Impact, which comes with Baritone and is easier to install than wrangling with version JSONs and zips. For 1.16.5, click here and see description. Once Baritone is installed, look here for instructions on how to use it. This project is an updated version of MineBot, the original version of the bot for Minecraft 1.8.9, rebuilt for 1.12.2 onwards. Baritone focuses on reliability and particularly performance (it's over 30x faster than MineBot at calculating paths). -

OpenJUMP is a community driven fork of JUMP the "Java Unified Mapping Platform" GIS software. The original JUMP was developed by Vivid Solutions, released under GPL2 in 2003 and discontinued in 2006. During 2004 already some enthusiastic developers joined together to enhance further the features of JUMP. They launched an independent development branch called OpenJUMP. The name gives credit to the original JUMP development, and at the same time describes the objectives of this project to be fully open to anyone wanting to contribute. These days OpenJUMP is developed and maintained by (some few) volunteers around the globe. If you need functionality or even better want to contribute you are very welcome to contact us at our mailing list.

Seeker
Accurately Locate Smartphones using Social Engineering
Seeker is an open source project that demonstrates how to obtain precise location information from devices using social engineering and web-based techniques. The tool sets up a phishing page that asks for location permissions, allowing GPS and other device data to be shared if the user consents. It can capture latitude, longitude, accuracy, altitude, direction, and even speed, with results displayed in a terminal. The project supports both manual deployment and tunneling services like Ngrok for external access. While primarily intended as an educational resource on security awareness, it highlights the risks of exposing geolocation data online. Its simplicity and effectiveness have made it a popular project in cybersecurity learning circles. -

folium
Python data, Leaflet.js maps
folium builds on the data wrangling strengths of the Python ecosystem and the mapping strengths of the leaflet.js library. Manipulate your data in Python, then visualize it in on a Leaflet map via folium. folium makes it easy to visualize data that’s been manipulated in Python on an interactive leaflet map. It enables both the binding of data to a map for choropleth visualizations as well as passing rich vector/raster/HTML visualizations as markers on the map. The library has a number of built-in tilesets from OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, and Stamen, and supports custom tilesets with Mapbox or Cloudmade API keys. folium supports both Image, Video, GeoJSON and TopoJSON overlays. To create a base map, simply pass your starting coordinates to Folium. To display it in a Jupyter notebook, simply ask for the object representation. The default tiles are set to OpenStreetMap, but Stamen Terrain, Stamen Toner, Mapbox Bright, and Mapbox Control Room, and many others tiles are built in. -

Leaflet
Open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps
Leaflet is a leading open source JavaScript library for creating interactive, mobile-friendly maps. Leaflet is light at just about 38 KB, but is already fully equipped with all the mapping features you could need. Leaflet is simple but efficient. It doesn’t try to do everything for everybody, rather it focuses on making the basic things work perfectly. It comes ready with exceptional layering tools, customization features such as pure CSS3 popups and controls, map controls and more right out of the box, and works on all major desktop and mobile platforms. Leaflet also comes with a range of interaction features, and can be extended with an abundance of great plugins. -

Open Source Routing Machine
Open Source Routing Machine - C++ backend
High-performance routing engine written in C++14 designed to run on OpenStreetMap data. There are several services available via HTTP API, C++ library interface and NodeJs wrapper. Nearest, snaps coordinates to the street network and returns the nearest matches. Route finds the fastest route between coordinates. Table computes the duration or distances of the fastest route between all pairs of supplied coordinates. Match snaps noisy GPS traces to the road network in the most plausible way. Trip solves the Traveling Salesman Problem using a greedy heuristic. Tile generates Mapbox Vector Tiles with internal routing metadata. To quickly try OSRM use our demo server which comes with both the backend and a frontend on top. The easiest and quickest way to setup your own routing engine is to use Docker images we provide. We base our Docker images (backend, frontend) on Debian and make sure they are as lightweight as possible. -

detectproj
Automated detection of the unknown early map projection
New scientific software supporting the automated detection of the early map projection and its parameters. Useful for studying and analysis of different kinds of maps with the lack of information about the map projection. The analysis is based on the minimization of residuals between control points on the early and current reference maps. Designed for cartographers as well as for enthusiasts. Available free of charge. The awareness of the map projection is primarily important for: • refinement of spatial georeference for the medium- and small-scale maps, • analysis of the knowledge about the former world, • location of the incorrectly/inaccurately drawn map regions. Sytem requirements: • 2 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor. • 2 GB RAM (32-bit) or 4 GB RAM (64-bit) system. • 120 MB available hard disk space. • JDK 1.8 +. • Internet connection (download speed > 2Mb/s -
