Research direction

Start by locating the README section that documents the geojson option and review the reported failure at tile-cover/index.js:84 when running index.js. Clarify there that GeometryCollection is unsupported, using the issue's error and examples as context, then confirm the README states the limitation plainly.

Description

question

I am trying to calculate the number of buildings in a geometry.

When I run index.js, I get "error: geometry not implemented at Object.getTiles [as tiles]" in module 'tile-cover, index.js:84' .
I checked the GeoJson and it seems valid. It was created in QGIS and I have tested it in mapshaper.

I have tested and tried with different geojsons, all valid. I always get the same error from tile-cover.

The scripts are here.
Data is canada.mbtiles (not uploaded).
