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.

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. -

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. -

Geocode addresses to coordinates
Geocode addresses to coordinates
This package can convert any address to GPS coordinates using Google's geocoding service. Though the package works fine in non-Laravel projects we included some niceties for our fellow artisans. In Laravel 5.5 the package will autoregister itself. In older versions of Laravel you must manually install the service provider and facade. -

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. -

TRIP
Minimalist POI Map Tracker and Trip Planner
TRIP is a self-hosted, minimalist trip planner and map-based tracker built for people who want a simple way to visualize points of interest and organize travel details without ads, telemetry, or account-driven tracking. At its core, it lets you create and manage POIs directly on interactive maps, turning the planning process into something spatial and visual rather than a list buried in notes. It supports multi-day trip planning with detailed itineraries, which helps you move from “pins on a map” to an actionable schedule that can actually guide a real trip. TRIP also supports collaboration so you can share plans and coordinate with travel companions, making it practical for couples, groups, or families building a shared itinerary. It is designed to be easy to deploy via Docker, which makes it realistic to run on a homelab or private server, and it provides documentation for configuration including OIDC-based authentication for those who want a more integrated sign-in experience. -

Earth Enterprise
Google Earth Enterprise - Open Source
Earth Enterprise is the open source version of Google Earth Enterprise (GEE), a powerful geospatial application suite that enables organizations to build and host custom 3D globes and 2D maps using their own imagery and data. Unlike Google Maps or Google Earth, Earth Enterprise does not include Google’s proprietary imagery but instead provides the tools needed to manage and visualize private geospatial datasets. The system is composed of three main components: Fusion, which processes and integrates imagery, vector, and terrain data into unified map layers; Server, which hosts the resulting globes or maps via Apache or Tornado-based web servers; and Client, which includes the Google Earth Enterprise Client (EC) for 3D visualization and the Google Maps JavaScript API V3 for 2D viewing. Designed for enterprise, research, and government use, it allows for secure, scalable deployment of geospatial visualization systems within private infrastructure.
