A tiled web map, slippy map [1] (in OpenStreetMap terminology) or tile map is a map displayed in a web browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files. It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such as Web Map Service (WMS) which typically display a single large ...
OpenStreetMap is freely licensed under the Open Database License and is commonly used to make electronic maps, inform turn-by-turn navigation, and assist in humanitarian aid and data visualisation. OpenStreetMap uses its own topology [clarification needed] to store geographical features which can then be exported into other GIS file formats.
Tile Map Service or TMS, is a specification for tiled web maps, developed by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.The definition generally requires a URI structure which attempts to fulfill REST principles.
The maps provided by MapTiler are created using open data sources, such as OpenStreetMap [9] and ESA, [10] and from purchased proprietary data sources, such as Maxar Technologies. [11] The original MapTiler software for turning raster images and vector geographical data into map tiles for interactive maps became MapTiler Desktop [12]
A Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) is a standard protocol for serving pre-rendered or run-time computed georeferenced map tiles over the Internet. The specification was developed and first published by the Open Geospatial Consortium in 2010.
Vector tiles, tiled vectors or vectiles [1] are packets of geographic data, packaged into pre-defined roughly-square shaped "tiles" for transfer over the web. This is an emerging method for delivering styled web maps , combining certain benefits of pre-rendered raster map tiles with vector map data.
Leaflet supports Web Map Service (WMS) layers, GeoJSON layers, Vector layers and Tile layers natively. Many other types of layers are supported via plugins.. Like other web map libraries, the basic display model implemented by Leaflet is one basemap, plus zero or more translucent overlays, with zero or more vector objects displayed on top.
