A Pan-African maps platform with self learning and improving features # Atlas A Pan-African maps platform built entirely in Rust. Tile serving, geocoding, routing, and place search — optimized for African road networks, addressing patterns, and languages. ## Features - **Tile Serving** — PMTiles vector tiles via S3 range requests with LRU cache - **Geocoding** — Forward and reverse geocoding with multi-language support (English, French, Arabic, Swahili, Twi, Yoruba) and landmark-relative addressing ("near the MTN mast") - **Routing** — Point-to-point routing with 4 profiles (car, motorcycle, bicycle, foot) and African road condition penalties (unpaved, seasonal closures) - **Place Search** — POI discovery with distance scoring and category filtering - **Turn-by-Turn Navigation** — Route instructions with simulated navigation camera - **Community Contributions** — Users report wrong turns, road closures, and bad conditions. Reports feed back into routing as edge penalties. - **Trip Telemetry & ETA Learning** — Collect real GPS traces from users who opt in. Aggregate actual travel speeds per road segment. ETAs improve over time based on what drivers actually experience, not just speed limits. - **Auth & Rate Limiting** — DynamoDB API key authentication with per-key token bucket rate limiting - **Metrics** — Prometheus endpoint with request counters, latency histograms, cache stats ## Quick Start ### Prerequisites - Rust 1.75+ (`curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf sh.rustup.rs | sh`) - Node.js 20+ (for the frontend) - pmtiles CLI (for downloading tile data) ### 1. Clone and build ```bash git clone github.com cd atlas cargo build --release -p atlas-server -p atlas-ingest ``` ### 2. Download test data ```bash ./scripts/download-test-data.sh ``` This downloads a small PMTiles extract for Accra and the Ghana OSM PBF (~105MB). ### 3. Build geocoding and search indices ```bash cargo run --release -p atlas-ingest -- --osm-dir ./data/osm --output-dir ./test-data cargo run --release -p atlas-ingest - …
