This is useful for writing a map style. JP GSI is a tileset that contains vector tiles provided by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. Explore the tileset in the interactive map viewer, check the date of the last update, use it as vector tiles, etc. [Go to JP GSI](https://cloud.maptiler.com/tiles/jp-gsi/) ## Maps with this tileset [![JP GSI Standard map](https://cloud.maptiler.com/static/img/maps/jp-gsi-standard.png) JP GSI Standard ](https://cloud.maptiler.com/maps/jp-gsi-standard/)[![JP GSI Dark map](https://cloud.maptiler.com/static/img/maps/jp-gsi-dark.png) JP GSI Dark ](https://cloud.maptiler.com/maps/jp-gsi-dark/) ## Definition of layers The JP GSI tileset contains the following layers: ## AdmArea [#](#AdmArea) Layer containing Administrative Area (AdmArea). ### Block `AdmArea` ### Geometry `Polygon` ### Min zoom `14` ### Max zoom `17` ### Fields #### vt\_code Type: `number` Values: -
