public final class MvtTileSource

  1. Object
  2. HttpTileSource
  3. MvtTileSource

ImplementsTileSource

A networked MVT (Mapbox Vector Tile) source. Point it at any {z}/{x}/{y}.pbf/.mvt endpoint (MapLibre/OpenMapTiles, Protomaps, MapTiler, …). Most hosted vector basemaps require an API key, supplied through HttpTileSource.setApiKey and referenced as {key} in the URL.

For a keyless, self-hostable basemap, Protomaps .pmtiles served behind a z/x/y proxy works well; for fully offline maps use BundledTileSource.

Creates a vector source from a {z}/{x}/{y} URL template.

Method details

openFreeMap

public static MvtTileSource openFreeMap()
The free, keyless OpenFreeMap vector basemap, built from OpenStreetMap data. No API key or sign-up is required. Its tile URLs are versioned, so the source is given OpenFreeMap’s TileJSON URL (no {z} token) and resolves the current tile template from it on first use. Works out of the box with MapStyle.light() / MapStyle.dark().
