Tile generation wasn't THAT bad. We only cover Colorado and Wyoming, and generating the tiles for those at the zoom levels 5-18 takes around 7 hours to pre-render (using "render_list_geo.pl"). The end result is around 25GB of rendered meta-tiles.
Much better than the NAIP aerial imagery, which takes around 3TB for the source data, 280GB for the resulting tiles, and around a full day to generate.
- linsomniac 8y agoOh, and we are using the mapbox.js viewer rather than leaflet.
- vinnieman232 8y agoMapbox.js is a leaflet extension to make it easier to use Leaflet with Mapbox services. So you're using both!
- spapas82 8y agoYes it wasn't bad for a single area (we cover only Greece and it was quick and easy for such a small country). However I couldn't imagine of the resources needed to cover the whole world!
