@scy how big is the planet file? Without downloading it completely, I haven't found the size on the webpage.

@guerda 100 gigs.

The funny thing is: You can create an extract of that without even downloading the whole planet file.

The command in the docs starts with `pmtiles extract build.protomaps.com/20231001.p, and I was like “but that’s madness, that’s gonna download 100 gig in whatever CI job I’m gonna use this in!”

Except that it doesn’t. It uses the PMTiles format to only download the sections you need.

Reeeeaaaally clever.

@scy wow that is awesome, I understand why you say that you love this. Thank you. I have to test it out soon!

@guerda @scy the full planet .pmtiles file is roughly 100 GB in size.

You can check the Content-Length header for the file linked to on the protomaps website.

Pretty dope for a global vector tile basemap 😍
