If you create, or are curious about, #VectorTiles, you may have come across the command line utility #Tippecanoe (TIP-ə-kə-NOO). It’s probably no secret that its usage is not entirely trivial, but there is a helpful tool for this now. spatialists.ch/posts/2025/04-0 #GIS #GISchat #geospatial #SwissGIS

Lately I've been working with vector tiles, building footprints and different tools. I'm getting warped geometries using #tippecanoe and #ogr2ogr, but the effects of simplification are much less noticeable with Martin. I have tested a lot of different parameter combinations with tippecanoe but couldn't improve the results. Any idea what else can I try?

Martin is generating the tiles directly from postgres using the native CRS of the data (epsg:25830) without prior reprojection. #vectortiles
