Cartes.io
Create and read open collaborative maps and markers
An open-source mapping service where anyone can spin up public maps and drop markers, all reachable over a REST API. Listing maps is a keyless GET — just send Accept: application/json, or you get the web app's HTML instead. CORS is enabled.
