It was designed to provide a unified interface for map conversion, display, and offline preparation, similar in spirit to tools like MOBAC but with web-based access.\n\nThe package includes both a server component (built on Flask) and a library interface for programmatic coordinate conversion and map printing. However, the project is no longer maintained\u2014the author explicitly states it is abandoned and recommends users migrate to QGIS for local map management or consider kmlsuperoverlay as a maintained PHP alternative for overlay generation.","worth_installing":"No. The project is abandoned, with no releases or commits since 2021 and an archived repository. Dependency compatibility with modern versions of flask, lxml, and pillow is uncertain. The author explicitly recommends alternatives: kmlsuperoverlay for overlay generation, QGIS for local map work, or MapProxy for server deployments. Use only if you have legacy code already depending on it or are willing to fork and maintain it yourself."},"id":"geos","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/geos","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/geos.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/geos/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-02-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"geos","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Map server to view, measure and print maps in a web browserand to display maps as an overlay in google earth."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":102172,"position":12885,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.3"}
