Just wondering what sort of Mapbox account you're using for this? I previously enquired about doing something similar with Mapbox, and was told if you intend to use the images commercially for printing you'd be capped at 2,000 prints and it'd cost you up to $5k annually.


Just use https://openmaptiles.org/ for a fraction of the cost (512USD) and no restrictions on how you use them commercially.


AFAICS, you do still need to provide attribution to OpenMapTiles?


To OpenStreetMap and OpenMapTiles. https://openmaptiles.com/terms/


Mapbox use OSM data. You can download it here ( http://planet.openstreetmap.org/ ). If you know how to process it, you can use it any way you want (subject to the liberal OSM licence)


> subject to the liberal OSM licence

Not to piss on the OP's parade, but, while liberal, the OSM license does require you to to give proper attribution to OSM in such a way than users are likely to notice it - I don't see that here.

Would be nice to get the OP's comments on this?


I see "(c) Mapbox (c) OpenStreetMap" in the bottom right of the map preview, so I assume it will also be part of the export/print. "OpenStreetMap contributors" and another clickable link in the footer would be better but I see reasonable effort in/on the end product.

edit: reading through other comments it's possible the author added the attribution only recently (after OPs comment)
