Using vector-tile-js to get water polygons as geojson tiles

Usage

npm install
node get-geojson.js <tile address>

<tile address> is a set of tile coordinates passed in as a string in the form [x,y,z] e.g. node get-geojson.js "[958, 1696, 12]"

get-geojson.js

// SPIT OUT A NAMED GEOJSON FILE FOR EACH INPUT TILE ADDRESS
