GET /api/v1/maps/layers/{id} #

One map layer as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection.

Add ?format=geojson for a bare FeatureCollection (application/geo+json) you can drop into any map library. Point-like features carry properties.at = [lat, lng]. Narrow large layers with bbox (features whose bounds overlap the box) or sort by distance with near (adds properties.distanceM, measured to the feature’s point or the centre of its bounds).
