Description

Target Use Case

We are forced to reply upon Leaflet to load a COG onto Google Maps. Leaflet have built a plugin known as georaster-layer-for-leaflet which makes loading & styling a COG very easy.

Proposal

https://www.cogeo.org/ has all the basic information about Cloud Optimized GeoTiff. We have tried using CoGeo library with a webp comression type, but that's very slow & doesn't allow dynamic styling of the tiles.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing React Google Maps API surface and the COG overview at cogeo.org, then compare the Leaflet georaster-layer-for-leaflet approach. Done should be defined as loading and dynamically styling a Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF on Google Maps without relying on Leaflet.
