MBTiles is a file format for storing map tiles in a single file. It is, technically, a SQLite database. Latest format specification as of Feb 2018 is 1.3.

Serving MBTiles

Since the only qualification for implementing languages is basic SQLite support, the logic is easily ported. A list of implementations is maintained by the project.

Data Download

MBTiles with OSM data for analysis are available from https://osmlab.github.io/osm-qa-tiles/ , these are provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and updated weekly. The planet, as well country extracts are available. These tiles were initially provided by Mapbox and made available daily.

The BBBike extract service offers mbtiles for an area of your choosing.

Generating MBTiles

Vespucci's documentation page Generating MBTiles files with custom imagery has a list of tools and resources for creating MBTiles files with custom data.

QGis can also generate MBtiles: menu View > Panels > Processing Toolbox > Raster tools > Generate XYZ tiles (MBTiles)
