mapzen-tile-generator

A tool for generating easily a set of map tiles for a city from mapzen metro extracts.

Installation

$ npm install mapzen-tile-generator -g

Quickstart

First creates a new folder where you want your tiles to be generated :

$ mkdir MyMap
$ cd MyMap

You must have a configuration file inside that folder named tiles.json :

{
    "city": "lyon_france", // mapzen city map metro extract name
    "zoom" : {"min": 12, "max": 17 }, // minimum and maximum rendered zoom level
    "bbox": [4.82, 45.735, 4.83, 45.74], // The rendered area
    "style": { "water": "#ff0000" } // You could override more styles
}

The styles are :

• background: the map background color (default:#f2f2f2),
• water: water areas fill color (default:#ffed00),
• text1: city name color (default:#434343)
• text2: road label color (default:#a8a8a8)
• roads1: highway fill color (default:#c2c2c2)
• roads2: main road fill color (default:#ffffff)
• roads2border: main road border color (default:#e2e2e2)
• roads3: small road fill color (default:#e6e6e6)
• buildings: (default:#d3d3d3)
