# Mapserver

A map tile server written using Flask and LeafletJS.

## Prerequisites
First you need to have map tile data. The easiest way to obtain this is to use KDE Marble and use the download maps feature.

## To Run
```bash
servemaps \
  --tile-path=~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/openstreetmap \
  --port=9001
```
