  • USBuildingFootprints

    Computer generated building footprints for the United States

  • I believe you're looking for the microsoft footprints. They're hosted on github as geojsons. You can download individual states and countries. Here's the US: https://github.com/microsoft/USBuildingFootprints

  • GlobalMLBuildingFootprints

    Worldwide building footprints derived from satellite imagery

  • Well, that is simply wrong. In the course of trying to find the source of my raster, I have discovered Google's Open Buildings project which covers the whole of Africa and part of Asia, and Microsoft's global ML building footprints which has much more extensive coverage.

  • SurveyJS

  • planetiler

    Flexible tool to build planet-scale vector tilesets from OpenStreetMap data fast

  • It's not raster directly, but you could use planetiler ( https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler ) to build a full planet vector map . Then you could use something like TileServer-GL to server the vector map with a style. TileServer-gl ( https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl) would provide a raster source that displays in the style you set on your vector map.

  • TileServer GL

    Vector and raster maps with GL styles. Server side rendering by MapLibre GL Native. Map tile server for MapLibre GL JS, Android, iOS, Leaflet, OpenLayers, GIS via WMTS, etc.
