Making your own.

The next chapters are used on your own. Assuming you know about Vector tiles and have some developing experience.

What you need to know or have:

• everything from the beginners course
• Docker
• NodeJS/NPM
• your own data in PostGIS or as GeoPackage

There are a few thing you can do, depending on your own whishes:

Serving & Generating

With OpenMapTiles you can serve existing tiles and styles. Maps are powered by the OpenStreetMap data and vector tiles from the OpenMapTiles project.

Tegola and T-rex serve data from your own PostGIS database to Vector tiles. You can also use these to cache your tiles.

The T-rex tutorial is based on data from NLExtract also for the Tegola server a example is available with NLextract data. See https://github.com/nlextract/NLExtract/wiki/Vectortiles

Customizing

To customize your map further we can create our own Sprite and Glyphs.
