Looks interesting - nice work! If I may just pick you up on one statement in the thesis: "There also exists a method[17] that circumvents using a database and directly transform OSM data into vector tiles but this does not scale for global vector tile coverage and does not support mixing additional data into the vector tiles. "[17] GitHub. Tilemaker, 2015. URL https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker. Visited on 2015-12-14." Whether tilemaker scales to the globe has not yet been attested. My hunch is that it probably doesn't impose more demanding requirements than, say, OSRM, which would mean it should be possible to create vector tiles from planet.osm.pbf with a large memory machine or EC2 instance. I would be interested to hear from anyone who tries it. It does, however, very definitely support including additional data (in shapefile form), and even allows you to perform some spatial queries using this data. See https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker/blob/master/CONFIGURATION.md#shapefiles . cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Project-OSM2VectorTiles-org-launched-tp5862757p5862759.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
