## What it is
A tiny, self-contained world map library for offline-first and low-bandwidth web apps, designed to work with Leaflet. It renders all zoom levels client-side from a ~450 kB gzipped script and can serve as a base map or an offline fallback for OpenStreetMap tiles via a service worker.

## Use cases
- add a lightweight world map to a Leaflet web app
- show an offline map fallback when users lose connectivity
- build a low-bandwidth map for low-end mobile devices
- replace heavy OpenStreetMap tile downloads with a small client-side map
- display major world cities on an interactive map without a tile server
- make a progressive web app with maps work fully offline

## When to choose
- your web app needs maps but must work offline or on very slow connections
- you want to avoid hosting or paying for a tile server
- you need a world-level map with city labels at a tiny payload size
- you are building an offline-first PWA with Leaflet

## When to avoid
- you need detailed street-level imagery comparable to full OSM raster tiles
- you need rich styling, satellite imagery, or terrain data
- your app is not web-based or does not use Leaflet-compatible mapping
- you need turn-by-turn navigation or routing features
