Proposed Changes

Vision

Cut compatibility back to support using slightly modified Mapbox Open Styles (OSM Bright and Basic) and iterate from there.

### Schema

Take a look at the diff between future OSM2VectorTiles v3 and Mapbox Streets v7. Use the gl-style-schema Python script to check for schema differences.

  • Layers
    • Remove #airport_label
    • Remove #motorway_junction
    • Remove #mountain_peak
    • Remove #rail_station_label
  • Fields
    • Remove iso_3166_1 from #admin
    • Remove underground in `#building``
    • Rename house_num to #addr
    • Remove layer from #road
    • Remove shield, iso_3166_2 from #road_label
    • Remove len from #road
    • Remove parent, type from #country_label
    • Remove placement in #marine_label
    • Remove area field from #state_label, #water_label, #marine_label
    • Remove ldir from #place_label

Conceptual

  • Rename class, type concept to better OSM terms like category, subcategory (to be discussed)

Other

  • Remove comparison tools

Wording

  • Do not market the OSM2VectorTiles project as 1:1 free alternative to Mapbox Streets
