Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am always a bit frustrated when I want to make a new nice planetiler map in a different folder, but then I first need to wait until all the big natural earth data is downloaded into the local data/ folder...

Describe the solution you'd like

Save all natural earth and geofabrik data in a central location, like for example in ~/.planetiler.

Describe alternatives you've considered Always build your planetiler maps from the same folder, but this is a bit of a mess for me because I am used a folder or github repo per idea...

Additional context Planetiler is great!

If you run it in docker you can kind of map in anything you want using volumes. That helps me keep my projects consistent :+1:
