Wouldn’t they need to keep updating this from time to time to stay current? That would likely kill any savings pretty quickly.

- tppiotrowski 3y agoProtomaps generates daily world files I believe [1] but I haven't confirmed that they're used by the download tool yet. In theory you can download the data everyday to pick up updates.

- globular-toast 3y agoIt depends what you use it for. I plan to use it for blog posts where I show the track of where I walked. I actually like that the map won't update. It wouldn't make sense to show me walking across a map of the future, would it? It's a record of the past and the map should be frozen just like the writing.
- pimlottc 3y agoSure, but in GP's context of local businesses, they certainly will want to keep up-to-date with any changes to make sure customers can still find them.
- globular-toast 3y agoYes, absolutely. I think, in that case, a managed tileserver (using PMTiles or otherwise) is probably the best solution.
