Technical note

PMTILES to GBR: what carries over and what does not

Geospatial coordinates are absolute positions on the earth, and they are large: a projected easting runs to six or seven digits, while latitude and longitude are small decimals. GBR expects a drawing laid out near its own origin in millimetres or inches. The geometry itself converts correctly, but it can land tens of kilometres from 0,0, or arrive at a scale where an entire county is forty units across. Zoom to extents first, then measure one known distance before dimensioning anything.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see PMTILES data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to GBR for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to GBR with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

As a PCB engineer, I rely on reaConverter to batch convert GBR files to PDF and PNG for client reports. It preserves layer accuracy perfectly, and the command-line automation saves me hours per project. Finally, a tool that handles Gerber files without glitches!

FAQ

PMTILES to GBR Conversion

What are PMTILES files?

PMTILES is a single file that holds a whole web map, cut into thousands or millions of small tiles at every zoom level. Normally a map like this is stored as a huge folder tree with one file per tile, which is slow to upload and needs a server to hand out the right pieces. PMTiles packs all of them into one file with a built-in index, so it can simply be put on cheap file storage in the cloud, and a map in a browser downloads only the tiles it needs to show the current view. The format was created by Protomaps, and it can hold vector tiles, which stay sharp at any zoom, as well as pictures such as aerial or satellite imagery.

What are GBR files?

GBR is part of the Gerber group of formats — a set of standardized extensions used in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber files include 2-D representations of various PCB images, such as copper layers, solder mask etc. They can also describe the electrical connections on such boards, or drilling and milling info associated with them. Similar formats include GBS, CMP and SOL.
