• Using OpenFreeMap: Refer to the default styles and the Quick Start Guide for integration.
• Project Background: Zsolt Ero, after 9 years of running MapHub's map tile infrastructure, open-sourced it to create OpenFreeMap. OpenStreetMap is a significant collective project with millions of daily edits.
• Free Public Instance: There is no technical reason for high map hosting costs. Financially, aim to cover running costs through donations and support plans. Consider subscribing or sponsoring on GitHub Sponsors.
• Commercial Usage: Allowed.
• Support and SLA: No SLA guarantees or personalized support currently. May introduce a Pro plan if there is enough interest.
• Tech Stack: No tile server, only nginx serving a Btrfs image with 300 million hard-linked files. Dedicated servers, not in the cloud. Special thanks to [Michael Barry] for [Planetiler]. Styles are forked and modified from OpenMapTiles.
