copied!<p>Here's how I ended up solving the problem.</p> <p>Since Tilemill doesn't natively read <code>.osm/.o5m/.pbf</code> files I used Osmosis to convert a <code>.osm</code> file into <code>.shp</code> files.</p> <p>I then created a new project in Tilemill and added the particular <code>.shp</code> files I wanted as layers to the new project. It takes a little bit of tinkering to get the map to look like you want it to but it's very similar to css and pretty easy to pick up as you go.</p> <p>Once I had the map looking the way I wanted it I exported it as a <code>.mbtiles</code> file. This takes a long time to make and the files can be very large depending on how detailed the tiles are. I did one map of Ireland with zoom levels between 7-14 inclusive and I did one map of just Dublin city with zoom levels of 11-17 inclusive. Even though the map of just the city of Dublin had much less tiles, they were both ~200MB in size. </p> <p>I then found this tutorial online which explains how to store the <code>.mbtiles</code> file in you application and how to read it: <a href="http://martinsikora.com/creating-mbtiles-db-for-ios-mapbox-from-hi-res-map-image">http://martinsikora.com/creating-mbtiles-db-for-ios-mapbox-from-hi-res-map-image</a></p> <p>Here are a few other links that I found useful:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kindle-maps.com/blog/using-tilemill-with-openstreetmap-data.html">http://www.kindle-maps.com/blog/using-tilemill-with-openstreetmap-data.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://mapbox.com/developers/mbtiles/">http://mapbox.com/developers/mbtiles/</a></p> <p><a href="http://mapbox.com/mapbox-ios-sdk/api/">http://mapbox.com/mapbox-ios-sdk/api/</a></p> <p><a href="http://mapbox.com/developers/api/#static_api">http://mapbox.com/developers/api/#static_api</a></p> <p><a href="http://support.mapbox.com/discussions">http://support.mapbox.com/discussions</a></p> <p>I hope this is useful to someone</p>
