Tehran Metro Map

This project is an interactive, bilingual map of the Tehran Metro system using OpenStreetMap (OSM) tiles and Leaflet.js.
It includes a searchable list of all stations in both Persian and English, auto-centers the map when a station is clicked, and uses geolocation caching to improve performance.

• ✅ Fully open-source, MIT-licensed

🖥️ Usage

1. Download or clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/BaseMax/TehranMetroMap.git
   cd TehranMetroMap

2. Open index.html in your browser:

   start index.html

   Or double-click it from your file explorer.

No server or build tools are required.

📍 How It Works

• The station list (script.js) contains over 120 metro stations, each with a Persian and English name.

• When you search for a station, it searches both fields smartly.

• Clicking a station will:

  • Geocode it using the free OSM Nominatim API (if not cached)
  • Place a marker on the map
  • Auto-center and zoom on the location

📚 Technologies Used

• Leaflet.js – Open-source mapping library
• OpenStreetMap – Free global map tiles
• Nominatim – Public geocoding API (used respectfully with caching)

⚠️ Notes

• This project uses public Nominatim for geocoding. It is rate-limited and should not be abused.

• For production use or heavy traffic, you should:

  • Self-host your geocoder
  • Or replace coordinates with pre-geocoded lat/lon data
