MapTiler Contours schema
The vector tile schema describes how the vector data is organized into different thematic layers and which attribute and values each layer contains. This is useful for writing a map style.
MapTiler Contours is a tileset that contains contour lines with height in both meters and feet and additional information for index line and glacier styling.
Explore the tileset in the interactive map viewer, check the date of the last update, use it as vector tiles, etc.
