Post author here! Yes, most apps have to create their own tile or download server at the moment. We’re hoping that our tiles will be useful to the greater ecosystem, in the same way that our current raster tiles get used everywhere.
The nice people at https://download.geofabrik.de https://download.geofabrik.de provide daily country-level OpenStreetMap extracts in the Shortbread schema, which is the same schema that we are going to use for our live tiles.
- orblivion 3y agoWait I thought these downloads are raw data (osm.pbf). Where are the shortbread downloads? Is that what the shp files are?

- stereo 3y agoIf you look at, say, https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/luxembourg.html https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/luxembourg.html you'll see a link for "experimental vector tile package conforming to Shortbread schema for use with MapLibre and other MVT capable software".
- blargpls 3y agoSeems like they are not available for all regions or countries. E.g. the pages for Europe, Germany and UK don't have such a link. I guess this is related to data and file size.
