A tiled web map, slippy map[1] (in OpenStreetMap terminology) or tile map (raster or vector) is a map displayed in a browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files over the Internet. The advantage of vector tiles is that each client (browser) can apply a custom style to the map. Defining a tiled web map[edit] Properties of tiled web maps that require convention or standards include the size of tiles, the numbering of zoom levels, the projection to use, the way individual tiles are numbered or otherwise identified, and the method for requesting them. Web Map Tile Service: a more recent OGC standard. TileJSON: a lightweight JSON description of all the parameters associated with a web map, created by Mapbox.[5] Retrieved from "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tiled_web_map&oldid=1002590720" ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-753.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-753.txt
