Talk:Vector tiles

Vector tiles are loaded server-side?

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

In this article's introduction, it is mentioned that both vector and raster tiles come from the server. On google's own documentation page about vector maps, they say the following :

" The vector map is a composed of vector-based tiles, which are drawn at load time on the client-side using WebGL, a web technology that allows the browser to access the GPU on the user's device to render 2D and 3D graphics. " source:https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/vector-map.

So although, they are from the server, technically, they are generated on the client's machine. Don't know if this is just google or its the standard, or perhaps I failed to understand what the article. 41.76.168.80 (talk) 09:17, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

also, from the arcgis website, within the vector maps api documentation, they describe vector maps as
"Vector tile layers are pre-styled vector tiles hosted in ArcGIS that are rendered on the client."
