Vector Tiles workshop


Vector tiles are a way to deliver geographic data in small chunks to a browser or other client app. Vector tiles are similar to raster tiles but instead of raster images the data returned is a vector representation of the features in the tile.

Vector tiles make huge maps fast while offering full design flexibility. They are the vector data equivalent of image tiles for web mapping, applying the strengths of tiling – developed for caching, scaling and serving map imagery rapidly – to vector data.

During this evening we will introduce you to the concept of vector tiling AND set you up for using the Amsterdam vector tiles in a small workshop. So bring your laptop to:

Create your own map!
