Quelltext der Seite MBTiles

MBTiles is a storage and exchange format where tiles are managed in a [[SQLite]] file.

See http://mapbox.com/developers/mbtiles/

MBTiles can be generated by: 
* [[TileMill]]. 
* TileStache - see below.
* TileCutter [http://viswaug.wordpress.com/2011/06/12/tilecutter-a-small-utility-to-generate-tile-cache-in-the-mbtiles-format-from-arcgis-dynamic-map-services/] - Generates MBTiles from ArcGIS Dynamic Map Services.

MBTiles can be converted by:
* [[GDAL]] - Converter to read MBTiles.
* MBUtil - see below.

MBTiles can be read from and/or is delivered by: 
* [[ArcGIS]] Dynamic Map Services. See TileCutter.
* MapBox Online [http://mapbox.com/]. Publishes maps in the cloud. MapBox Hosting uses TileStream but adds many features and is a hosted service.
* TileStream [https://github.com/mapbox/tilestream] - High-performance map tile server powered by MBTiles files (Serverside Javascript). Can be used in OpenLayers, Google Maps, Modest Maps, and other Javascript APIs. Wax (Javascript lib) enhances it. 
* TileStache [http://tilestache.org/] (Python). Is aka successor of TileCache, based on Mapnik; reads MBTiles (metatiles) format. Generates vector tiles from OGR datasources in GeoJSON (usable in Polymaps). Writes (caches) to disk, Memcache, Amazon S3, MBTiles. Serves tiles in Google-style spherical mercator projection and WGS84 lat/lon projection. Runs from CGI, mod_python, or Gunicorn WSGI.
* (TileServer.php [https://github.com/klokantech/tileserver-php] (PHP). Deliveres pre-rendered map tiles in OGC WMTS standard made with MapTiler, GDAL, or available as MBTiles files.)
* [[GDAL]] [http://www.gdal.org/frmt_mbtiles.html]. GDAL2Tiles utility. Is used in turn e.g. by [[QGIS]] and [[UMN MapServer]]. 
* MBUtil [https://github.com/klokantech/mbutil] (Python) - Exports MBTiles to disk (als plain raster files) and imports/packages from disk to MBTiles format.

One can also use MBTiles files offline on mobile devices with the MapBox iOS SDK or on Android ([http://spatialnetworks.com/blog/2012/07/using-mbtiles-on-android-with-osmdroid/ OsmDroid]).
