NAME

       tilemaker - Generates vector tiles from OpenStreetMap data

SYNOPSIS

       tilemaker --input input.osm.pbf --output output.mbtiles

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the tilemaker command.

       tilemaker  generates  vector  tiles from OpenStreetMap planet and diff files without any complex stack or
       need for a database. It uses the schema of OpenMapTiles by  default,  but  custom  vector  tiles  can  be
       produced  by  modifying  the  JSON  config  (layer  config and general options) and Lua processing script
       (mapping OSM tags to vector tile layers/attributes).

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').
       A summary of options is included below:

       --input
              Source path and file from OpenStreetMap (.osm.pbf).

       --output
              Target  path  for  vector  tiles.  Specify  .mbtiles/.sqlite  to  create  an mbtiles archive, or a
              directory to create individual .mvt files.

       --config
              Path to layer and global config file (.json). config.json assumed if not specified.

       --process
              Path to Lua processing script for processing tags. process.lua assumed if not specified.

       --store
              Path to the directory to use as a temporary store during processing.  If specified, tilemaker uses
              on-disk  storage  instead  of  holding  everything  in  RAM.  Fast  storage (e.g. SSD) is strongly
              recommended.

       --compact
              Reduce overall memory usage by assuming nodes are numbered sequentially (requires .osm.pbf  to  be
              pre-processed with osmium renumber).

       --merge
              Merge with existing .mbtiles/.sqlite file.

       --bbox Bounding   box   to   use   if   the   input   file   does   not   set   one  in  the  header  (as
              minlon,minlat,maxlon,maxlat).

       --skip-integrity
              Don't enforce checks on all nodes being present in ways.

       --verbose
              Outputs any issues encountered during tile creation.

       --threads
              Number of threads (automatically detected if 0).

       --help Show help message for tilemaker.
