Mapbox Tiling Service #10

Closed walkerke closed 2 years ago

walkerke commented 3 years ago

Mapbox has just rolled out its new Mapbox Tiling Service which promises to convert massive amounts of geodata to vector tiles quickly. Right now, we handle this with upload_tiles(), optionally used with tippecanoe(). MTS appears more straightforward as it doesn't require a number of the intermediary step.

Using this service requires a tileset recipe, which can get reasonably complicated (and replicates some of the functionality in tippecanoe). I'd like to add to add this to the package eventually, so bookmarking this here.

Long time coming but this is moving forward over in the mts branch: https://github.com/walkerke/mapboxapi/blob/mts/R/mts.R

Implemented in https://github.com/walkerke/mapboxapi/pull/32. Just need to write a documentation page and submit to CRAN, and I can close this issue.
