OpenMapTiles is an open vector tile schema and tooling for generating zoomable map tiles from OpenStreetMap and other open data sources. It includes Docker-based tile generation, a documented layer schema, and a set of open-source GL map styles for self-hosted basemaps.

Use cases

• generate vector tiles from openstreetmap data
• self-host a world map tile server
• create a custom styled basemap for a web app
• build offline maps for a mobile app
• serve openstreetmap tiles on my own server
• customize map layers for a specific theme
• download country-level map tile extracts

When to choose

• you need self-hosted OpenStreetMap-based vector tiles with no vendor lock-in
• you want an open, extensible basemap schema with ready-made GL styles
• you need offline or planet/country/city tile packages for web or mobile maps

When to avoid

• you need real-time or frequently updated OSM data with minimal processing
• you want a fully managed hosted maps API without running Docker infrastructure
• you need highly specialized thematic layers outside general topographic basemapping
