I want to display parcel outlines or boundaries on the OpenStreetMap. But when I use OpenStreetMap dynamic map for address "10543 JERSEY RD, MILTON, FL,32583" (latitude: 30.620948, Longitude: -86.881137). It does not display any parcel outlines or boundaries. But some platforms like https://maps.mapwise.com/ display parcel outlines or boundaries on OpenStreetMap Map. So anyone can advise how I display parcel outlines or boundaries on any Static or dynamic map. (OpenStreetMap Maps, MapQuest Maps, Bing Maps, etc.).
Please advice. I am using the PHP framework Laravel to achieve it.
My guess: the background map is truly the OpenStreetMap, but the layer with boundaries does not come from OSM but rather from another source. Did you try exlporing the source code of the page?
Having said that, I need to add that OSM contains a lot of polygons (city boundaries, timezones, etc.) and you can explore them interactively. Have a look at this image:
If you open the map and click on the the "Query Features" button at bottom right, then click on the map and it will list all nearby and surrounding OSM elements at location of your click. I created this snapshot at this location.

I'm trying to build a web app showing satellite imagery on a map in the browser.
I have images like landsat retrieved from the Google Earth Engine API (python)
or from planet API.
I can show a Google Map by using the Google Map API (HTML or JS) or I can use another map API.
How can I show satellite imagery on any map in the browser?
As long as you match the projection of your satellite images to your map's projection, you can overlay the image on top of your map with top-left/bottom-right coordinates. If your image is too big, you might want to tile it to smaller images at different scales. Here are a few projects that you can take a look.

I would like to extract the marker locations from this Canadian oil sands mines map.
The markers are static PNGs hosted on Squarespace linked via bit.ly.
This XHR trick didn't work in that case.
May you please help me?

How can I resolve this?

Short answer: you can't.
As you have discovered, you can't use the staticmap api to get the image you want. So you have to do it another way. Request multiple images and stitch them together in whatever interface you are creating?
The default overlays that come out of the box for Google Maps API v3 Street, terrain, etc. appear to busy. I want to have a good "night" or "minimal" overlay that is like leaflet night view or minimal view http://leafletjs.com/examples/layers-control.html (select the layer control to switch between views) or a simple white and gray map without all the business of the colors. Are there such overlays that exist or settings that could be used so that I could use it/customize it for my Google Map?
You can create your own style. Here is the documentation
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling
Included is a style wizard that generates all the JSON for you

I'm using Drupal 6 along with Gmap module.
For some search functionalities, which I would like to implement using Gmap, I need to have markers for some countries presented on a map.
For example, on front page, I want to display world map with markers for UK, Ireland and New Zealand.
Is there a way to somehow achieve this?
It's not entirely clear what you would like to achieve, but with the Location module you could associate Location data with nodes and later use that data for displaying on a Gmap (for example in a view). The Location module provides a Location field that you can use in your own content types.
I did the same for displaying user locations with the same toolkit and it's working well.
