Stadia maps is a good replacement for Google Maps in the cloud.
I use Galileo Offline Maps on my iPhone, and my own localhost browser-based map viewer on Mac that can read SQLite tile stores and let me put address queries on the map, and draw circles around a point.
The tiles I use were cached once with MOBAC, when I had a fast Internet connection. (when I need a map, I usually don't have Internet access). Google Maps keeps redesigning and making roads harder to see, emphasising Places instead. Maybe that's good for advertising, but harder for me as a cyclist.
Stadia maps are using OSM tiles, but with a beautiful format, and pinyin romanisation for the street names. It looks just like Google Maps did back in 2014, when the colours were bright and clear.
I'd like to generate a large tilestore (usually ~2 GB for a whole country [1]) of the Stadia formatted OSM data, using MOBAC. Could someone suggest how to do that?

- stadiamaps 9y agoThanks for your kind words! We care about internationalization a lot (both of the founders live outside the English world), and we're glad to see we can help you out with that. We'd love to help anyway possible with the generation. Would you mind sending us an email (info@stadiamaps.com) so we could collaborate better on this?
- Symbiote 9y agoThis project is using OpenMapTiles.org vector tiles, which you can download in MBTiles format. But I think you are expecting raster tiles for MOBAC? Then you could script calls to a renderer to convert. https://openmaptiles.com/ https://openmaptiles.com/
