Allow larger tile size limit #936

Open stonetip opened 2 years ago

stonetip commented 2 years ago

https://github.com/mapbox/tippecanoe/blob/18e53cd7fb9ae6be8b89d817d69d3ce06f30eb9d/tile-join.cpp#L517-L518

tile-join skips tiles that are larger than 500K. However, Mapbox now allows (and has for some time) tiles up to 2500K (and advises it may allow more in special circumstances). Please consider either raising the limit in the referenced lines of code. Or allow the use of the -M arg so users can choose to set their own limit, consistent with the tippecanoe tile generator.

As far as I know, those larger tile sizes are only allowed with MTS, not with direct mbtiles upload.

(No longer a Mapbox employee, so I don't really know.)

That's a good point. I should've mentioned we host our own tilesets 3rd-party. Those have been just fine with recent versions of the Web GL SDK.
