“It is as simple as to specify an input file and an output directory, and it just goes and magically generates these tiles for you.”

“Pretty simple, huh? And if that’s not simple enough there is even a GUI called MapTiler at https://www.maptiler.com/desktop/”.  Said Chris Broadfoot, Maps API team, Google Inc. about our software.
