A Vector Tile Map Library
VectorTileMap is part of the OpenScienceMap project, developed at University of Bremen. http://www.opensciencemap.org
Features
- Java map library
- OpenGL vector-tile rendering
- Themeable vector layers
- Support for multiple tile sources: primary opensciencemap (.vtm)
- vector: partially mapbox vector-tile and mapsforge files
- bitmap: any quadtree-scheme tiles as texture
- Backends for Android, Desktop and HTML5/WebGL (through libgdx and GWT)
Notes
- checkout required libraries with 'git submodule init && git submodule update'
- Projects are expected to be build within eclipse (maybe gradle in future)
- To set up your own tile server for .vtm tiles see https://github.com/opensciencemap/TileStache/tree/master/TileStache/OSciMap4
