Update MBTiles File Format Options #312

Open mataharimhairi opened 5 years ago

mataharimhairi commented 5 years ago

Currently satellite imagery can be exported into a MBTile through the Export Tool with the use of a TMS url. This should be removed to try to reduce bottlenecks in the tools processing, so that only OSM data can be exported into a MBTile.

Other ways that the bottle neck issue can be address include the restriction on the number of MBTile exports a single user can do a day, as well as the introduction of priority queuing system and a secondary pipeline.

There were also discussions of removing the capability of exporting satellite imagery into an MBTile completely from the Export Tool and placing it within one of the other HOT tools that works with aerial imagery, such as OpenAerialMap or depending on future development work, MapCampaigner.
