## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
