Basemap Downloads
Intro
The Protomaps Basemap is a general purpose vector base map - city labels, roads, water features and other essential location context derived from OpenStreetMap. It's available as a single PMTiles archive, distributed as an Open Database License Produced Work (OpenStreetMap attribution required)
A full planet file is roughly 120 gigabytes, including zoom levels from 0 to 15.
Please note that URLs may change and hotlinking to these downloads are discouraged. Instead, you should copy the tileset to your own Cloud Storage.
- The generation of the planet basemap is open source at github.com/protomaps/basemaps.
Current Version
The Version 4 Protomaps basemap daily build channel is available at maps.protomaps.com/builds. This is compatible with protomaps-themes-base style v4.0.0 and newer.
BLAKE3 hashes are provided for daily builds. Use b3sum to verify the integrity of your downloaded file.
A mirror in the AWS us-west-2 is available on Source Cooperative (beta) at the protomaps/openstreetmap repository. This mirrors the most recent daily build only.
Build History
The daily builds bucket retains:
- All builds for the past week.
- Weekly monday builds for the past month.
- The latest build for each version (major + minor + patch) beyond that.
Partial Downloads
To download a cutout of a specific region, rather than the entire world map, see the CLI's extract command.
If you don't need all 16 zoom levels of detail, use the --maxzoom option of pmtiles extract. Each additional zoom level roughly doubles the size of the file.
Terrain
The AWS Registry of Open Data hosts Terrarium-encoded RGB tiles generated by the Joerd project. Below is a link of zooms 0 to 12 of this tileset, provided as-is. See the Joerd docs for attribution requirements.
