Proof-of-concept demo of creative cartography using animated vectors to present Open Streetmap data (in this case, heavily inspired by TRON).

The missing link between spreadsheets and vector graphics.

This project contains everything you need from start to finish to make a vector based web map of American rivers in the contiguous 48 states. This demonstration map is neither particularly beautiful nor complex, but it is a complete example of how to build a web map using tiled vector data into a web map. The source code is open source you are encouraged to read and tinker with. There are three parts to the project: data preparation, HTTP serving of vector tiles, and clients that render maps. The components integrated in this project are:

MapBox has developed an open source vector format to power the future of our web maps. Vector tiles rethink web maps from the ground up, providing a single efficient format to power raster tiles, interactive features, geojson streams, mobile renderers, and much more.
