Vector Tiles

This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate vector tile layers into your mapping application. Vector tiles are compact, efficient map data formats that deliver vector geometries divided into tiles, enabling high-performance rendering of complex maps with reduced bandwidth requirements.

You'll learn how to:

• Create vector tile layers from external tile services
• Configure style URLs to customize the visual appearance of vector tiles
• Set up authentication using API tokens for protected tile services
• Add multiple vector tile layers to your map's overlay manager
• Work with different vector tile providers (ArcGIS, custom services)

Vector tile layers are essential for creating high-performance, visually appealing maps that can be styled dynamically. This capability allows you to display complex geographic data with excellent performance, customize the appearance of base maps, and create responsive mapping applications that work well across different devices and network conditions.
