The Story
maptalks.js was born in 2013, for a map-centric project to help YUM! China to choose locations of KFC and PizzaHut restaurants. After verified in many projects of government depts and enterprises, we did a complete rewrite with ES2015 and open sourced it, hoping it can make your life easier in mapping projects.
