Overture Tiles

Create tilesets from Overture Maps data for visualization.

How to Use

Each theme has an associated PMTiles file, which you can link to from other applications.

To extract only a part of the tileset, use the pmtiles CLI.

Building Tilesets

You can build the tilesets from raw data, modifying the profiles/ and scripts/.

1. Copy the Overture Parquet dataset to your local machine to overture dir: Use these docs. You don't need Microsoft Synapse or AWS Athena.
2. Install DuckDB and felt/tippecanoe
3. Run places.sh places.pmtiles replacing read_parquet(...) with the path to your Overture copy. This streams GeoParquet into tippecanoe without any intermediate file.
