Esri Nederland Vector Tiles - how they are constructed

<\/HEAD>

Vector tiles have the advantage over raster tiles that they are always sharp, have dynamic labels, require little storage, and that the styling can be adjusted afterwards by the user.<\/P>

 <\/P>

Since June 2018, Esri Nederland also offers a topographic map in the Rijksdriehoekstelsel as vector tiles, namely the Topo RD (vector tiled)<\/A>. Meanwhile, from the content team we offer the following styles:<\/P>

 <\/P>

- Topo RD<\/P>

- Light Gray Canvas RD<\/P>

- Light Gray Canvas RD without labels<\/P>

- Water Map RD<\/P>

 <\/P>

Webmaps of these styles can be found in the

Base Maps - webmaps<\/A> group in ArcGIS Online.<\/P>

<\/P>

You can also create a style that is completely tailored to your own use case. Previously, we shared a

how-to<\/A> describing how the Topo RD (vector tiled) can be customized to your own taste. For this, the currently still in beta, ArcGIS Vector Tile Style Editor<\/A> can be used.<\/P>

<\/P>

We now also share a Reference document for the Esri Nederland Vector Tiles. This document provides insight into exactly how the Esri Nederland Vector Tiles are constructed. It explains which layers are included in the vector tiles, which source data has been used for each value in the vector tiles, and at which scale levels these values are included.<\/P>
