mbgl-dl-ctrl

MapBox control for downloading the background tiles in the map you're currently viewing.

See Example at http://tiles.okdistribute.xyz

It's recommended to use Bing background tiles because Mapbox's terms of service are more restrictive when it comes to downloading and using tiles offline.

Will download the tiles to a tar file, without hitting the server.

Only works in Google Chrome.

Usage

var DownloadControl = require('mpgl-dl-ctrl')
var mapboxgl = require('mapbox-gl')

const bingSource = {
  type: 'raster',
  tiles: [
    'https://ecn.t0.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a{quadkey}.jpeg?g=1',
    'https://ecn.t1.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a{quadkey}.jpeg?g=1',
    'https://ecn.t2.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a{quadkey}.jpeg?g=1',
    'https://ecn.t3.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a{quadkey}.jpeg?g=1'
  ],
  minzoom: 1,
  maxzoom: 21,
  tileSize: 256
}

const bing = {
  id: 'bing',
  type: 'raster',
  source: 'bing',
  layout: {
    visibility: 'visible'
  },
  paint: {
  }
}

    ids: ['bing']
  }]
