MBTiles reader and Mapbox Vector Tiles 2.0/2.1 reader/writer in C++

mbtiles-cpp

MBTiles reader and vector map pbf v2.0/2.1 reader/writer. C++ library for encoding and decoding of mbtiles and vector data into function callbacks. It can be integrated by compiling it inline with your code by adding appropriate files to your project.

The MBTiles spec is at https://github.com/mapbox/mbtiles-spec

Vector tile spec is at https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec

UTFGrid spec is at https://github.com/mapbox/utfgrid-spec

MBTiles available at https://openmaptiles.org/ and https://www.mapbox.com/

git clone --recursive [email protected]:TimSC/mbtiles-cpp.git

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev g++ libprotobuf-dev zlib1g-dev

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

Update pbf files

To update the protobuf files, get vector_tile.proto from https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec, remove the line "option optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME;", then

mkdir vector_tile21

protoc vector_tile.proto --cpp_out vector_tile21

protobuf lite is avoided because it doesn't contain SerializeToOstream functionality.

mbtiles-cpp's Issues

Writing capability implemented?

The repo description says it can read and write MBTiles files, but I'm only seeing source implementation for reading. Anything I'm missing, or is that not actually implemented?

In VectorTile.cpp the wrong latitudes are calculated.

Currently Cairo Egypt (specifically tile 9613,9626,14) is being calculated at roughly latitude -30 in the example project. I think this is due to a difference between the mbtile specification and the slippy tile spec that the tiley2lat and lat2tiley are expecting.

The mbtile format uses the "Tile Map Service Specification" which has incompatible tile indexing with slippy map tiles. The latitude functions seem to work when modified to be as follows:

double tiley2lat(int y, int z) 
{
	double n = pow(2.0,z);
	int ymax  = 1 << z;
	y = ymax - y - 1;
	double latRad = atan(sinh(M_PI*(1-(2*y/n))));
	return 180.0 / M_PI * latRad;
}

int lat2tiley(double lat, int z)
{
	int y = (int)(floor((1.0 - log( tan(lat * M_PI/180.0) + 1.0 / cos(lat * M_PI/180.0)) / M_PI) / 2.0 * pow(2.0, z)));
	int ymax  = 1 << z;
	y = ymax - y - 1;
	return y;
}

these modifications were found here https://alastaira.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/converting-tms-tile-coordinates-to-googlebingosm-tile-coordinates/

With the above changes Cairo is back at roughly latitude 30 comfortably above the equator.

build error in protoc version?
