Forgive me if obvious—where are you pulling the underlying data from? Is the data itself OS licensed?

- codetrotter 5y agoOpenStreetMaps probably. Mapbox uses data from OSM among others when they create their tiles. https://docs.mapbox.com/help/getting-started/mapbox-data/#core-tilesets https://docs.mapbox.com/help/getting-started/mapbox-data/#co...

- codetrotter 5y agoSorry :p It’s ironic because I had a friend once—well we shared kitchen and bathroom in the student housing, flatmates of sorts—that used to refer to Google Maps as “Google Map” and I never corrected her because I just found that adorable for whatever reason. Lol.
- unknown_error 5y agoGood thing it's all digital. Unfolding one big Google Map would take a looooooong time...

- z77dj3kl 5y agoDoesn't need to be OMT though. That's just the de facto free & open source tile generator from OSM data.
- westnordost 5y agoWhere the SDK pulls its data from is not hardcoded. The SDK is just a library, used to render vector map tiles, usually in the MVT-format: https://docs.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/ https://docs.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/ Most maps rendered with such an SDK are based on OpenStreetMap data.
- lukeqsee 5y agoAs others stated, this demo dataset is pretty simple. I believe it's only using Natural Earth data (https://www.naturalearthdata.com/ https://www.naturalearthdata.com/). The primary focus is on the rendering library.
