Support for vector tile features in osm-carto but not in OpenMapTiles #3

Description

@ZeLonewolf

This project is currently based on OpenMapTiles, which does not support all map features present in osm-carto. However, a project goal is to render a general-purpose style that's equivalent to osm-carto. Therefore, there is a need to identify or stand up a vector tile data source that can provide the missing features. For example: power lines are supported in osm-carto but not in OpenMapTiles; this is just one example of many.

Tasks:

  • Achieve the ability to generate global vector tiles which contain arbitrary features/tags of our choosing. Some leading candidate technologies for this include planetiler, and specifically the effort to make planetiler configurable via configuration files in [FEATURE] config-based profiles onthegomap/planetiler#18.
  • Stand up hosting for the comprehensive vector tiles. One option is to combine the above with planetiler-scripts to generate a cloud-based server at low cost. Of note are emerging plans to host vector tile layers out of OSM US / openstreetmap-americana, which may be a source of vector data above and beyond openmaptiles
  • Generate style data/json for vector data over and above OpenMapTiles.
