Why is this valuable?
Worldwide OSM Vector Tiles is about 80 GB however many mapping applications don’t support vector tiles or complex vector tiles. This allows you to pre-cache an area of interest such as Raster Tiles.
Users of apps like ATAK, WINTAK, iTAK, and MCH can now have data they can consume.
Users of On-Premises or Edge Mapping /Common Operating Picture Solutions can now have rich basemap data available.
