Get started

The OpenMapTiles vector tile schema is open source and licensed under BSD + CC-BY. You are free to use it to generate your own OpenMapTiles and use those vector tiles afterward. However, you are still obliged to follow original ODbL license and attribute OpenStreetMap data properly as well as attribute the OpenMapTiles project itself. The correct attribution looks similar to this:
