About Mapbox Vector Tiles
Map of Oré in Mapbox Vector Tiles — an export of real OpenStreetMap data for the selected area.
MVT (Mapbox Vector Tiles) is an open specification for binary vector tiles built on Protocol Buffers, now the de-facto standard of web cartography. Each tile holds geometries and attributes in a tile-local coordinate grid, while styling happens entirely on the client — so the same tileset renders under any style without regeneration. On osm2cdr.ru the export pulls the chosen OSM area, converts layers to tiles via GDAL (the MVT driver in ogr2ogr) and packages the result into a ZIP archive with a z/x/y.pbf hierarchy. If the MVT driver is unavailable in the environment, the archive honestly includes the source GeoJSON with conversion instructions instead.
Which layers are in the file
The set of layers depends on the selected area.
File size
The expected size of the Mapbox Vector Tiles file for Oré is about 805 KB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.
Coordinate systems
WGS 84 (EPSG:4326), selectable in the wizard

How to use Mapbox Vector Tiles for Oré
- Static hosting (Nginx, S3, GitHub Pages) — unpack the archive so that addresses of the form /tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf are served as files, and point the style at that template as its source.
- MapLibre GL JS or Mapbox GL JS — add a source of type vector with the field tiles: ["https://your-domain/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf"] and write the style layers; without a style vector tiles will not be drawn.
- QGIS (free) — in the Browser panel create a Vector Tiles connection of type "Directory" and point it at the unpacked folder: the tiles open locally, with no server.

FAQ: Mapbox Vector Tiles for Oré
What does the result look like?
A ZIP archive with a z/x/y.pbf hierarchy and (if the generator produced it) metadata.json. Unpack it onto static hosting or wire it to a tile server.
How does MVT differ from PMTiles and MBTiles?
MVT is a single-tile format. PMTiles and MBTiles are containers holding the very same MVT tiles; they differ only in how tiles are stored and served.
What happens if the MVT driver is missing?
The export won't fail: the archive will include the source GeoJSON with a README and an ogr2ogr command so you can convert it yourself.
Why are the tiles invisible on the map after I connect them?
A vector tile contains no styling: without a style file there is nothing to draw. Describe layers in style.json referring to your source and to the layer names inside the tiles (roads, buildings and others) — after that the map appears.
Which zoom levels get built?
By default 0 through 14, with a maximum capped at 16 so that the archive size stays reasonable. At zoom 14 individual buildings are visible; for larger-scale plans expect the number of files to grow.
