Offline Map Tiles

Tegola OpenMapTiles
  1. 1
    An open source vector tile server written in Go, Tegola takes geospatial data and slices it into vector tiles that can be efficiently delivered to any client.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    If you want a proper tile system to handle large amounts of land/data (and don't want to make your own symbology/style) then unfortunately it gets a bit harder. I'm somewhat of a fan of Tegola, if you look through the docs and tutorials (see the navbar at top of the page) you'll see it's pretty easy to set up a premade style. You will need Postgres (PostGIS) to hold the data.

    Maptiler/tileserver-GL/openmaptiles was already mentioned below. They do have a pretty easy plug-and-play setup, however, I didn't use them because I found their... Business (?) to be EXTREMELY confusing. I couldn't tell what was free, what was paid, what was open source, what was proprietary, what they handle, what I have to handle... And it all seems to be split between OpenMapTiles, Maptiler, and Klokan Tech. It seemed like every article explained it differently and like it changed often over the years. Super confusing. But maybe that's just me. https://openmaptiles.org/.
