- thejefflarson 15y agoNot really, though I'd say it's smaller than Mapnik. TileMill (backed by Mapnik) is an amazing GUI for styling maps, and TileStache is an awesome caching server. But, really at it's heart all SimpleTiles does is convert spatial data into an image, and does that by relying on GDAL and Cairo as much as possible.
