This is useful for writing a map style. [MapTiler Outdoor](https://www.maptiler.com/maps/outdoor) is a tileset containing general layers to maps for outdoor life like hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, and other related activities. Explore the tileset in the interactive map viewer, check the date of the last update, use it as vector tiles, etc. [Go to MapTiler Outdoor](https://cloud.maptiler.com/tiles/outdoor/) ## Maps with this tileset [![Outdoor map](https://cloud.maptiler.com/static/img/maps/outdoor-v4.png) Outdoor ](https://cloud.maptiler.com/maps/outdoor-v4/)[![Winter map](https://cloud.maptiler.com/static/img/maps/winter-v4.png) Winter ](https://cloud.maptiler.com/maps/winter-v4/) ## Definition of layers The MapTiler Outdoor tileset contains the following layers: ## outdoor\_poi [#](#outdoor_poi) **outdoor\_poi** (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hiking) contains tourism information, camp sites, shelters, huts, springs, cave entrances, etc. ### Fields #### name The OSM [`name`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name) value of the POI. #### class Selected values of the [`information`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:information), [`tower:type`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tower:type), [`shelter_type`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shelter_type), [`tourism`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tourism), [`amenity`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity), [`leisure`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:leisure), [`fireplace`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:fireplace), [`natural`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:natural), [`waterway`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway), [`historic`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic), [`castle_type`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:castle_type), [`sport`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sport), [`man_made`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:man_made) and [`rental`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:rental) tags.
