thank you for the explanation. New to this. I have this project with all the sea points will have 10 images to show for any point of the sea map. These images are in a 500 gb disk and all the images have the lat and long number in their names to easy like pair with the actual sea point. I was wondering if Leaflet will be a good choice..
So, Which library should I use for heavy data. consider 60 thousand rows of line geometry and 1,80,000 rows of point geometry I need to pull hit and convert to geojson to show in map. it is becomes quite slow.
Confusion brings what concept of tiles and controller lib separation. So I just don't agree what leaflet is simple. I found it pretty confusing even on basic tasks. For example I can't customise geocoding input and i cant use my own as source to geocode API, at least there is no clear documentation on it. So I end up with Google Maps, because they have all in one package and fine documented manual.
I would say that Leaflet and Google maps have a similar overall philosophy when it comes to the way the libraries function (compared to Mapbox/Maplibre, for instance). However, Leaflet does have plenty of complexity when it comes to integrating functionalities that aren't core to leaflet, like geocoding, as you mention -- you'd need to use external plugins. Glad you found your solution in Google Maps -- although were you able to plug in your own geocoder there?
