Re: [Interest] MapboxGL offline and custom vector tiles source
Hi, a semi-OT reply: do your own geojson tiles include text or are you only going to display geometric shapes in the map? Asking because since 5.14 there's some GeoJson support, and, together with a custom model that could be used to populate a map with custom vectors On Thu, 19 Dec 2019 17:22:25 +0100 maitai wrote: > Hello, > > We would like to serve custom vector tiles, ideally though an API call > or eventually a local server/stream.
