Mapsforge Tile Server — serve Mapsforge maps.

Deprecated: Please use awesome komoot (and Wahoo Elemnt instead of Garmin).

Mapsforge Tile Server — serve Mapsforge maps. So any application can load tiles from your map and your preferred render theme.

Main purpose of this project — ability to use excellent beautiful detailed Elevate theme not only in Android OS.

Latest release

Modified mapsforge 'dev' (0.5) version used because in this version label clipping was partially fixed.

Features

• Tiles in the WebP image format if supported by browser and server (currently, only Mac OS X and Linux 64-bit supported as server platform — under Windows/other platforms only PNG (feel free to open issue)).
• Multimap (you can specify folder of maps or several map files).

For personal usage you can use public mapsforge tile server instance instead of setting own.
