Self hosted maps for (practically) free

1. tilemaker

   1 21 1,660 6.1 C++

   Make OpenStreetMap vector tiles without the stack

   

   Tilemaker is tool for transforming map data. We can use it to take our source .osm.pbf file and transform it into a .pmtiles file. The best thing about Tilemaker is that you can use a lua script to organize map features into layers however you want. In this post I am going to take trail data (osm tag highway=path) and make it available for much higher zoom levels than it is normally available. I want my map to show trails when zoomed really far out.
