OpenStreetMap is one of the most important collective projects in history. More than 2 million users have contributed to it over 19 years; 3 million edits are made each day.
Unfortunately, when you want to use the map on your website or app, you need to look for a commercial map tile provider and hope your site doesn't get too popular, otherwise you might end up with a $10,000 bill in a single day, like Hoodmaps did [*](https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1730659933232730443).

You can try self-hosting, but it requires a big server and a lot of time to get it right.

## Why did I make this?
## Why did I make this?
Because I waited for years for someone to offer this service, but realised no one is going to make it. So, I thought I might use my map hosting experience and do it.
I'll share more about the why in a blog post in the future, feel free to subscribe on the links above.

There is no technical reason why vector tile hosting should cost as much as it does today.
There is no technical reason why vector tile hosting should cost as much as it does today.
Vector tiles are just static files. OK, serving 300 million files is not easy, but at the end of the day they are just files.
Financially, the plan is to keep buying Hetzner servers until they cover the bandwidth. I believe it can work if enough people contribute. If this project helps you save your map hosting costs, please consider our support plans!
## What is the tech stack?
The map schema is [OpenMapTiles](https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles).
The tiles are generated by [Planetiler](https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler).
There is no tile server running, only BTRFS partition images with 300 million hard linked files.

Moreover, a lot of work is going into customising the styles at [openfreemap-styles](https://github.com/hyperknot/openfreemap-styles).
## What about PMTiles?
I would have loved to use PMTiles, they are a brilliant idea!
