Planetiler Transitopia Base Map Profile

This profile for Planetiler is used to create the base map (the background map) used for Transitopia. It is a slightly modified version of the OpenMapTiles Planetiler Profile.

How to run

After installing Java 21+:

# Build the project (use mvnw.cmd on windows):
./mvnw clean package
# Then run:
java -jar target/planetiler-*-with-deps.jar --force --download --area=british-columbia --exclude-layers=housenumber,mountain_peak,poi,building --output=data/transitopia-base-bc.pmtiles

See Planetiler README.md for more description of the available options.

Differences from OpenMapTiles

In addition to the upstream differences between planetiler-openmaptiles and openmaptiles:

• The park layer includes leisure=park areas (e.g. municipal parks) and excludes boundary=aboriginal_lands and many boundary=protected_area that aren't parks (e.g. heritage neighborhoods)
  • For example, in the Transitopia version: Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver is considered a park, and the Abbott Street Conservation Area and Sen̓áḵw lands are not.

Customizing

See the upstream documentation about how to customize the map.
