Works with basemap vector tiles data from multiple providers: - Tech Maven Geospatial’s OSM Vector Tiles and styles (3D, 3D with Satellite, OSM Bright, Basic, fiord color, osm liberty, positron, toner, dark matter, topo-terrain, opacity styles, ESRI satellite with OSM, HERE Maps Satellite with OSM, OpenMapTiles Satellite with OSM) - MapTiler Data (basic, bright, outdoor, streets, toner, topo, winter, dataviz, satellite hybrid) - MapBox (Street, outdoors, Light, Dark, Satellite, Satellite Streets, Navigation Day, Navigation Night) - ESRI (World navigation, Navigation Dark mode, Light Gray canvas, Dark gray, World terrain, World topographic, national geographic, newspaper, nova, outdoor, ocean, enhanced contrast) - ESRI OSM (OSM Navigation, OSM Dark, Hybrid OSM) - Load your own URL/Stylesheet Supports Overlays Vector Tiles Easily share converted files and view files with file manager and viewer Why this is valuable? Worldwide OSM Vector Tiles is about 80gb however many mapping applications don’t support vector tiles or complex vector tiles. This allow you to pre-cache an area of interest as Raster Tiles. Users of apps like ATAK, WINTAK, iTAK, ARTAK and MCH can now have data they can consume. Users of Mapping Libraries like Cesium WebGL that does not support vector tiles can now support data by converting to raster tiles. Users of On-Premises or Edge Mapping /Common Operating Picture Solutions can now have rich basemap data made available for their use. Supports styles with multiple sources (topo/terrain style with contour lines and hillshade or satellite hybrid style or other combination of data) The app has no free component. It requires annual subscription giving user access to map data. The app requires purchase to use it past trial period. EULA: https://vector2rastertiles.techmaven.net/eula/
