mapnik geojson vector tiles

1.5k views Asked by At

Could you point me in the right direction on how to create vector tiles from geojson or topojson? mapnik-vector-tile seems to be the right library but I cannot find a good example. There seems to be examples of geojson files (14_2620_6331-XXX) but how did the pbf files get created? Thanks. Pat.

Tippecanoe is the best way to create vector tiles from vector file formats (like .geojson).

Their usage on the readme has good tutorials, e.g.:

tippecanoe -o file.mbtiles [options] mydata.geojson
