capad2mbtiles

capad2mbtiles is a utility to convert the Australian Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) into an MBTiles for cartographic purposes and easier use with Mapbox maps.

It is used by beyondtracks.com to display protected area boundaries on the map.

Download pre-built

You can download the pre-built cartographic capad_2016.mbtiles.

Building from source

Unfortunately the download sites are a pain to use as they use JavaScript to construct a big HTTP POST request for the data. This makes it hard to script a remote headless server to download the data. In the meantime manually download the data to the data directory from:

Ensure you have installed tippecanoe, geojson-polygon-labels and gdal-bin (ogr2ogr).

Then run:

make unzip labels geojson mbtiles
