08/13/2025, 12:10 PMWhat kind of tiles it supports, vector tiles or raster tiles?

08/13/2025, 1:41 PMOnly raster tiles. I am not sure about vector tiles. I think it depends how they are defined. Did not dived into this topic yet. But would be interesting.

08/13/2025, 1:47 PMIt is not a library just some code snippets for now.
But i think this is a special format so it is not working with my code samples. But of course could be maybe adopted to support this. But as i said i do not know how complex the format is. So maybe a lot more work to implement than just showing a bitmap.

08/13/2025, 1:50 PMFor my usecase i just wanted to have a satelite image anyways and this is usually a bitmap anyway. And most map providers do also provide bitmap tiles. So it will work for many different providers. Or you own. But only raster format for now.
