tileshrink

Reduce and simplify all features of all or any vector tiles in an MBTiles container.

Helpful in case

• your maximal projection size is much smaller than the tiles' one

• you want to create a ultra-low-bandwidth MBTiles version

Requirements

• The upstream library tilegrinder uses the native protobuf wrapper library node-protobuf for its magic

• To let it build during npm install, take care of following things:

  • Linux: libprotobuf must be present (apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libprotobuf-dev)

  • OSX: Use homebrew to install protobuf with brew install pkg-config protobuf

  • Windows: node-protobuf includes a pre-compiled version for 64bit systems

How to install it?

npm install -g tileshrink
