Talk:Vector tiles

Vector tiles are loaded server-side?

In this article's introduction, it is mentioned that both vector and raster tiles come from the server. On google's own documentation page about vector maps, they say the following :

" The vector map is a composed of vector-based tiles, which are drawn at load time on the client-side using WebGL, a web technology that allows the browser to access the GPU on the user's device to render 2D and 3D graphics. " source:https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/vector-map.

So although, they are from the server, technically, they are generated on the client's machine. Don't know if this is just google or its the standard, or perhaps I failed to understand what the article. 41.76.168.80 (talk) 09:17, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

also, from the arcgis website, within the vector maps api documentation, they describe vector maps as

"Vector tile layers are pre-styled vector tiles hosted in ArcGIS that are rendered on the client."
