OSM OpenMapTiles style
OSM OpenMapTiles is the official style of OpenMapTiles. Its purpose is to display all features in vector tiles.
OSM OpenMapTiles style is heavily inspired by OSM Carto.
Huge credit belongs to the original authors.
Fonts
OSM OpenMapTiles style used Noto Sans fonts. To download these fonts run:
make download-fonts
It downloads Noto Sans fonts (~70MB) and extract them into openmaptiles/data/fonts directory.
Icons/sprite
All icons which are used OpenMapTiles style are located in openmaptiles/style/icons.
After the style is built, the icons are composed into sprite files located in build
directory.
Additional svg icons can be added to openmaptiles/style/icons directory.
To generate new sprite files with added icons, run:
make build-sprite
Sprite files will be generated into build
directory.
OSM Icons
Icons in the OSM OpenMapTiles style are based on original OSM Carto symbols.
The original icons can be found in openstreetmap-carto/symbols.
Icons used in OSM OpenMapTiles style were scaled down and saved as svg.
Build style
To build style run:
make build-style
It generates new sprite files and merges all style snippets from each layer, orders them according the order
value
and saves the complete style into build/style/style.json
.
Tileserver-gl
The tileserver serves both the tiles and the OSM OpenMapTiles map.
MBTiles (default)
By default, the tileserver serves OSM OpenMapTiles map based on tiles from data/tiles.mbtiles
as defined in
style-header.json.
"sources": {
"openmaptiles": {
"type": "vector",
"url": "mbtiles:///data/tiles.mbtiles"
},
...
}
Serve from the db
The tileserver can also serve OSM OpenMapTiles map based on dynamically generated tiles directly from the database. Start the database container and the postserve container:
make start-db
make start-postserve
In style-header.json change the source of tiles to PostServe:
Start tileserver
Before you start the tileserver, make sure you have fonts downloaded in openmaptiles/data/fonts, sprites generated and style built:
make download-fonts
make build-style
Start tileserver:
make start-tileserver
And go to http://localhost:8080.
