Drawing arbitrary GeoJSON on the map

[Schlepptop]

I would be interested in drawing arbitrary GeoJSON to the map by sending a new cmd.
What would be a good approach to implementing this?

Are you looking to draw more complex regions, or are you thinking something else?

The idea would be to draw arbitrary polygons on the map, yea. There'd be no need for the enter/leave events for my usecase, though thinking about it, it might make sense to refactor regions to be any polygon (approximated circlea in the case of the ones currently in place), with an optional property to reflect whether to send events.

I started tinkering with this, adding Maplibre as a mapping backend. I wonder if it would make sense to replace the Google and OSM maps with that alltogether, given that it's a very performant and open source framework.
Having a distinction between the Google and the FOSS build seems burdensome.

Last I checked, MapLibre was just an open source library - the tiling backends were by no means free. It's an option for people who want to bring their own tiling API / credentials though, it'll just end up quite far down the to-do list.

Besides, some people want the Google Maps UI, and you can't ship that to F-Droid, so we'll always have multiple flavours to deal with that. There's other differences as well, apart from the mapping library.
