Practical OpenLayers 3 & Leaflet

A hands on introduction to using OpenLayer 3 (OL3) and Leaflet to display spatial data on the web. The workshop will introduce the two libraries, the underpinning concepts and strengths of each, and take delegates through creating a series of examples.

What we will build

The workshop walks through building the same simple web mapping application first using OpenLayers 3 and then with Leaflet. The steps break down as follows:

  • Basic map with OSM tiles
  • OS-GB Map with Ordnance Survey tiles
  • GeoJSON layer with markers
    • Info for GeoJSON layer
  • WMS layer
    • Info for WMS layer

Completed versions can be seen here:

Getting started

Get a copy of the repository

First clone or download (and unzip) the repository from GitHub to a suitable location on your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/AstunTechnology/osgis-ol3-leaflet.git

If you are using your own machine then you should be good to go, start building an OpenLayers 3 map.

OSGeo Live DVD

If you are using the OSGeo Live DVD do the following:

  • Dismiss the Welcome and Upgrade prompts
  • In Firefox (Applications > Web Browser) navigate to http://is.gd/osgis2014
  • Copy and paste the commands displayed in your browser into a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal Emulator) and hit return

The commands set the keyboard layout to GB, installs git and gedit (a slightly better text editor) then clones the repository and changes you into it's root. Now you're ready to start building an OpenLayers 3 map.


Extra credit

  • Style markers based on an attribute value
  • Add additional WMS layer (the WMS server used in the workshop also has a osgb:county_region layer)
