One thing I&#x27;ve found hard to find in Go is a library equivalent to GEOS&#x2F;JTS; looks like there are some nice geometric operations bundled under <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tidwall&#x2F;geojson" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tidwall&#x2F;geojson</a>

This is definitely a cool product. I&#x27;ve been thinking of building something like this for use in a game server backend.<p>Do you plan on adding height-support? I&#x27;m sure some clients in the professional space would like to know &quot;what room&#x2F;floor in this building are you in?&quot;

I am just now digging a bit into IFTTT like event driven api pipelines (OS of course) and so the &quot;Automated Events&quot; section on tile38.com hit my attention - niiice!<p>I just today found this interesting project:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flogo.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flogo.io&#x2F;</a><p>and this seems to be a great fit! Very nice toolset!<p>NO, I am not affiliated, I just liked it. I tried several different things, Flogo seems to have hit a nice spot between &quot;general, but not too generic tool&quot; with easy extensibility but still good usability for gui experiences.<p>Adding an event capable mapping server to the toolbox triggers exciting ideas!<p>Thank you very much for making this fantastic project a present to the world! Great!

This is an amazing piece of software and thanks for creating this. We heavily use Tile38 for all our Geospatial needs in production.

Tile38 is a great product, we&#x27;ve been using it in production to track, and manage geofences for a large amount of asphalt and cement trucks :)

@tidwall: the link to maptiler.org in the readme is broken (it has bad certificate + asks for login &amp; password)

I wonder how much work it would be to integrate with Owntracks. It looks like Tile38 supports MQTT.

What does this give you beyond what nearest neighbor libraries like flannel already do?
