Tilemill export in mbtiles data size


I'd like to know what is the data size necessary if I want to generate a map of the whole world, with every zoom level available with tilemill.

I found that it was around 100mo for 8 level zoom there.

The sister question is what can I host with the basic plan from Mapbox that includes 250mo data upload. Is it useless, or is there anychance of doing something out of it?


Solution

  • So I found the answer by trying to export my map in TileMill :

    To get the whole world, starting from zoom 0, if you play with zoom max, here are the given estimations :

    - Zoom 15 à 22 ==> 1000 Gb+ 
    - Zoom 12 à 14 ==> 100 Gb+ 
    - Zoom 11 ==> 10 Gb+
    - Zoom 10 ==> 1 Gb+
    - Zoom 9 ==> 100mb
    - Zoom 8 ==> 10mb
    - Zoom 7 ==> 1mb
    - Zoom <7 ==> <1mb
