MBTiles Extracts from OpenMapTiles

The create-extracts component is responsible for cutting out specific country and city extracts as specified in the extracts.csv CSV file from a planet scale MBTiles file.

It is made especially for cutting out vector tiles from the latest OSM2VectorTiles planet dump but can be adapted to support other MBTiles formats.

Usage

Submit new Extract

You can modify the extracts.csv directly in GitHub and create a PR.

Download Planet MBTiles

Download the entire planet and put it into data.

wget -O ./data/planet.mbtiles https://osm2vectortiles-downloads.os.zhdk.cloud.switch.ch/v2.0/planet_2016-06-20_3d4cb571d3d0d828d230aac185281e97_z0-z14.mbtiles

Python

You can use the create_extracts.py Python script yourself to generate an extract and optionally upload it to S3.

# Create extracts limited by a bounding box specified in the CSV file
python create_extracts.py bbox planet.mbtiles extracts.csv

Docker

To use create-extracts inside the Docker Compose workflow you need to have a full planet.mbtiles ready in the data folder.

create-extracts will use tilelive-copy to cut out extracts for countries and cities. To produce the extracts for all cities and countries this can take up to several days. The results will be first be stored in the data folder and then uploaded to a S3 if configured.

docker-compose run create-extracts
