I haven't found this info in the FAQ, but it would be interesting to know how large that PMTiles file is for a medium-sized country.
It seems to be a really attractive way of self-hosting maps that don't have to be 100% up to date and are only used in a specific region. "Recompiling" that file once a year and uploading it to a static file hoster would be an easy process with very little external dependencies.
Edit: Found the official download link[1] for the whole world, which is a bit over 100 GB. So I guess the answer to my question would be "hundreds of MB to a few GB", which seems totally fine.

- robertlagrant 3y agoThat's true - I suppose the cost changes depending on the size of the area you're mapping. Maybe a representative set? A city (e.g. Johannesburg), a small country (e.g. UK), and a large country (e.g. USA)?

- Doctor_Fegg 3y agoGeofabrik already does this for vector tiles of each country, but as individual mvt files rather than in a container like pmtiles or mbtiles. http://download.geofabrik.de/ http://download.geofabrik.de/
