Maps

To build a map, you need 1) a map style that defines the visual style of the map data, and 2) the map data itself. The data typically comes in tilesets, which is a specific type of dataset containing map-ready data.

Map styles

A map style is what we usually have in mind when we say “map”. It describes which map data should be displayed on the map, in which colors, fonts, etc. To see our range of map styles, go to MapTiler maps. For self-hosting, you can get a basic set of these map styles as part of our sample data package.

Tilesets

Map tiles are the main building material for your maps. They contain raw map-ready data and come in tilesets. To see all available tilesets, go to MapTiler Data downloads. Selected tilesets are explained below.
