Create Extract

To create an extract the tilelive-copy utility is used. It takes a bounding box and a mbtiles file as input and ouputs the extract.

Replace the bounding box in the following command with your bounding box.

tilelive-copy \
    --minzoom=0 --maxzoom=14 \
    --bounds="60.403889,29.288333,74.989862,38.5899217" \
