Vector tiles

Vector Tile Stacks

The obvious one

• ESRI ArcGis Pro - generate tiles
• ESRI ArcGis Enterprise - serve tiles
• ESRI ArcGIS API for Javascript - browser support

In this blog post ESRI says they based their API on mapbox-gl.js

The open source tools

• Generate tiles
• Serve tiles
• Browser options:
  • mapbox-gl.js, see https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js
  • Openlayers 5 appears to not work.
  • OpenLayers 5 + Mapbox = works.
  • Leaflet
