Offline use

Thanks for the great effort you all did for making this available!

Is there a way to download the tiles (only a few zoom levels) and use them locally using Leaflet.js?
Is this legally ok?
If yes, what tool can be used to do so?

Hello @gertst ,

There is no way to download the tiles from https://tile.openstreetmap.be/.
It's not allowed to bulk scrap all the tiles from https://tile.openstreetmap.be/ either because it would cause a charge on the server too heavy.

If you want to have your tiles locally, I would suggest to render it yourself.
You can have a look at the documentation here : https://github.com/jbelien/openstreetmap-carto-be/wiki/Install-Rendering-(Ubuntu-18.04)

Thanks for the quick reply.
I was a bit afraid that this would be difficult. As an alternative I will look for a GeoJSON vector file with contours for Belgian provinces and municipalities. Any idea where this should be available?

Thanks!

You could use official data : https://statbel.fgov.be/fr/open-data/secteurs-statistiques-2020

Or from OpenStreetMap, use Overpass to export what you need:

• Municipalities : admin_level=8 : http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/ZtS
• Provinces : admin_level=6 : http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/ZtT
