Description
Would be cool if the longer term road map would include a direct vector drawing map like this one:
https://github.com/salvozappa/mapkeep
(see also https://openmaptiles.org/ ).
Since the original vector files are also much smaller than a full rendered bitmap tile catalogue, this would make full self hosting more easily possible.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the mapkeep and OpenMapTiles references, then compare them with the project's current map tile and self-hosting approach. The issue does not identify files, entry points, or tests; completion would require defining and implementing a vector-map approach that makes full self-hosting easier.
