• VectorTileSet
Vector Tiles are a format of the company Mapbox and described under:
https://docs.mapbox.com/data/tilesets/guides/vector-tiles-standards/
• Tile Request
When creating the tiles, different generalisation algorithms are applied in principle, but with the condition that at zoom level 16 the geometries with cm accuracy are displayed. Legally binding coordinates cannot therefore be derived from it!
The tiles are created in TileSet3857 with a tile size of 512x512px and stored under the following URl structure:
https://kataster.bev.gv.at/tiles/{kataster|symbole}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf
→ Sample calls:
https://kataster.bev.gv.at/tiles/kataster/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf
https://kataster.bev.gv.at/tiles/symbole/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf
• Style request
The vector data can be displayed as desired.
For easier use, the BEV provides 4 different styling variants:
