2024: announcing the year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps | OpenStreetMap Blog
Grosse novità all’orizzonte! Quest’anno dovrebbe essere l’anno in cui su OSM.org arriverà finalmente un layer vettoriale.
Raster tiles are images made out of pixels, getting staircase edges or blurriness when you zoom a lot. Vector tiles are made out of lines and shapes only after to be converted to pixels, so one can infinitely zoom in and out while keeping beautiful rendering with low bandwith needed.
