MapTiler Landform 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 Landform is a tileset that contains prominent topographic features—such as mountain peaks, volcanoes, saddles, cliffs, and ridgelines. Features with elevations include values in both metres and feet.
Explore the tileset in the interactive map viewer, check the date of the last update, use it as vector tiles, etc.
