 ## 📖 How do I use Apache Baremaps?
 
-You can find the documentation on the project's [website](https://baremaps.apache.org/). The following pages showcase the main uses of Apache Baremaps.
-
-- The [OpenStreetMap](https://baremaps.apache.org/documentation/examples/import-osm-into-postgis) example is a good introduction to Baremaps, it shows how to produce high resolution vector tiles.
-- The [NaturalEarth](https://baremaps.apache.org/documentation/examples/import-naturalearth-into-postgis) example shows how to produce low resolution vector tiles.
-- The [Contour](https://baremaps.apache.org/documentation/examples/import-contour-into-postgis) example shows how to produce contour lines from a digital elevation model.
-- The [IP to location](https://baremaps.apache.org/documentation/examples/ip-to-location) example shows how to create and serve an IP to location service in a simple web application.
-- The [Geocoding](https://baremaps.apache.org/documentation/examples/geocoding) example shows how to create and serve a geocoding service in a simple web application.
