2025-11: MapTiler Planet v4 and new maps

We’re releasing MapTiler Planet v4 as the new data backbone for our maps, officially replacing MapTiler Planet v3. Related to that, we’re also introducing new versions of our maps, built and optimized specifically for Planet v4.

  • Phased rollout of new maps:
  • Changes in your account: Within your MapTiler account, updated maps and tilesets are now labeled as new and the older ones as deprecated. Some older tilesets or map styles may no longer be listed at all.
  • Functionality of deprecated maps: All older (deprecated) map styles remain functional, so any maps you’ve already implemented are safe. However, please note that there won’t be no further maintenance except critical bug fixes.
  • Updates of deprecated data: MapTiler Planet v3 remains functional and will continue to get standard bi-weekly data updates. Any change in long-term support of this tileset will be announced well ahead.
  • Backward compatibility: Due to different internal data structure, Planet v4 is not compatible with older map styles, and Planet v3 is not compatible with new map styles. This means that simple upgrade of older maps to Planet v4 isn’t available.
  • New map implementations: For all new projects, we strongly recommend using the latest tilesets and map styles. They’ll be now getting the most love, careful maintenance, improvements, and features unavailable in previous versions.
