- philips 2y agoIt says it uses PMTiles right on the front page, right?
- boramalper 2y agoYep, it's a format they designed (ProtoMaps Tiles): https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles
- joshstrange 2y agoYeah Protonmaps is awesome, I’ve been very happy with them. Dirt cheap and simple. After getting hit with a couple hundred dollars (yes, not much, but it was a side project) with Google Maps I went looking for alternatives and found protonmaps, I haven’t looked back.
