How to add Mapbox Vector Tile service (.pbf TileLayer) to map viewer

CBREEMEA — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 14:20:30 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to add to ArcGIS Online map viewer the OpenInfraMap tile layer (OSM power networks of all over the world) but I'm not sure if this Mapbox Vector Tiles format service is supported as is.

In the "About" section it is possible to find the link to the TileJSON file with its definitions and the tile layer URL:

https://openinframap.org/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

I'm able to add it to the web map but don't get any tiles.

Any ideas? Is it really supported in map viewer?

Thanks in advance,

António

I am also unable to add a vector tile layer to ArcMap Online it is a third party one in the same format as the Openinframap above so would appreciate know if it is possible.

Were you ever able to figure this out?

Any luck with the process? I'm trying to import a TileJSON file into ArcGIS Pro. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

This is not working yet according to my test with

https://vectortiles.geo.admin.ch/tiles/ch.swisstopo.base.vt/v1.0.0/7/67/44.pbf

I promoted the follwing idea Add a Vector Tile Layer from URL - Esri Community

Would love to know if anyone got this working in the 3 years since the OP. It seems like PBF is an accepted format for TileInfo, so ...there must be a way?
