Vector Tiles

Vector tiles are a modern way to display maps using geometric shapes instead of traditional images. Each tile contains data about the location, such as roads, buildings, and land features, represented as points, lines, and polygons. This approach allows for smoother zooming and better detail at various scales because the shapes can be resized without losing quality. Vector tiles are particularly useful in web mapping and mobile applications, offering a more interactive and responsive experience, as they can be styled and manipulated dynamically based on user preferences or external data.
