## What it is
Pigeon Maps is a lightweight, dependency-free React map component library for displaying map tiles, markers, and overlays. It prioritizes small bundle size and performance compared to heavy alternatives like Google Maps or Leaflet.

## Use cases
- display a map with markers in a React app without heavy dependencies
- reduce page load time caused by Google Maps or Leaflet bundles
- embed an interactive pannable and zoomable map in a website
- render a static server-rendered map with no touch or mouse events
- build custom map overlays and draggable markers in React
- show OpenStreetMap or MapTiler tiles with fractional zooming

## When to choose
- you use React and want a tiny, fast map component
- bundle size and page load performance matter more than advanced GIS features
- you want full control over tile providers and custom overlays
- you need server-rendered or fully static maps

## When to avoid
- you need advanced features like routing, geocoding, or clustering out of the box
- you are not using React or a compatible framework
- you need a full-featured GIS toolkit like Leaflet plugins or Google Maps services
