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.

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.

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.
