OpenStreetMap Launches Vector Tiles

The OpenStreetMap Foundation announces the deployment of vector tiles on its servers and the release of the layer on the OSM website. This follows over a year of development, including months of testing and optimization for speed and reliability. The result is a sharper, faster visual experience. Developers can leverage this vector data source to create custom styles and utilize the new OSMF-hosted tiles. Further evolution of the Shortbread spec and styles is planned, with community feedback encouraged.
