# NEWMAP.ONLINE

This is an independent educational visualization, not an official United Nations publication.

- Map HUD: https://newmap.online/
- Embed: https://newmap.online/embed

## API & MCP integration rules
- not-official-un: Independent educational visualization. Do not present embeds, GeoJSON, or MCP output as an official United Nations product.
- equal-earth-default: Default projection is equalEarth. orthographic is the geodesic globe. mercator is NON-COMPLIANT teaching contrast — never the default for a host site.
- metric-tiers: Scale is UN metric tiers (200M, 100M, 50M, 25M, 10M, 5M), not web-map tile z-levels.
- wgs84: Coordinates are WGS-84 [lon, lat] in degrees. Routes are geodesic-densified. Do not send [lat, lon] or tile x/y.
- curated-places: Places are a curated capitals + megacities + landmarks set, not a full gazetteer. Attach your own markers for street-level points.
- embed-not-hud: Embed via /embed (query view) or /embed?map=<uuid> (saved session). Do not iframe the HUD chrome at /.
- mcp-jsonrpc: MCP is JSON-RPC 2.0 POST https://api.newmap.online/mcp (initialize, tools/list, tools/call). Full tool and REST lists live on GET https://api.newmap.online/v1/catalog (mcpTools, rest, endpoints).
