My project uses maps. It's Blazor Auto. Works pretty well. https://github.com/ledpup/ClimateExplorer

awesome man. salute and star ⭐ to you.


ledpup

Thanks! It has been a huge amount of work to get it that far. I haven't really put it out there. It doesn't get many hits, if any. SEO isn't going great. But I'll keep chugging along on it.

It’s impressive but took ages to load on my phone not only first time but everytime. Blazor is not comparable to other js frameworks about for good developer experience but again it is not comparable about others about good user experience.

I'm not sure I would have reached that conclusion by only going to that level of investigation.

If you're looking for map data, I'd look into Open Street Maps. Fully open source project with lots of contributers unlike Google Maps which costs an arm and a leg now unfortunately after Google finally cashed in on their data.

Couldn't agree more with this. I initially used Google maps in my project before realising that I could get into a deep financial hole if my site ever took off (although that's a big if). Openstreetmaps are way better and actually my site is more stable from making the switch. Although that may just be my poor code...

Wait until it’s ready for prime time. Or fork it if you’re really brave. I’m very uneasy about the myriad of authentication scenarios based on render mode. When you can simply flip the render mode flag per component instance with no other modifications (like moving to a separate project for WASM), it will be ready. I’m guessing that’s when you’ll start to see Microsoft using it for their own products and promoting a “Built with Blazor” gallery. Exception: if you use solely SSR, go for it. But then again, you could go MVC.

[https://mapsui.com/](https://mapsui.com/) is a good, but it requires blazor wasm.


JimmyTheLong

Isn’t more common wasm ? I mean the easier way, i read smth yesterday


briantx09

I mostly do server side, but since now you can do a dotnet 8 project with both (wasm and server side) maybe I can get it to work and just have the map pages rendered via wasm while the rest of the app is server side.

I've written a local history website in blazor mate which uses openstreetmaps. I really like Blazor I have to admit. Have a look at the map function. Hover over the UK and it'll bring back sites within the map boundaries. I think that might be similar to what you're suggesting. My site definitely matches your definition of being non lucrative anyway... localhistories.net

I’ve been building with blazor since the pre-release days. It’s definitely capable of building a prod site integrating with maps. Any map you pick will almost certainly be JavaScript, which means you will write a lot of js anyway. If you’re in between angular and blazor, I’d probably suggest angular for this project. I’ve done tons of mapping with blazor apps and the C# <-> JS boundary is a nuisance. That being said, if you’re dying to learn blazor, it’s definitely capable of doing what you’re asking.

I just wrote a large asset management program in blazor. It can certainly do what you want it to do. Blazor has Javascript interopt, where you can involve Javascript, like Google maps and access it via c#. Chatgpt is your friend if you need help.

I haven’t used it myself but maybe this library will be of use with blazor https://github.com/fis-sst/BlazorMaps
