Note these are issues with client side rendering, not with vector tiles - those are ultimately independent things. That client side rendering is often not very efficient if you consider overall costs is a given. Especially when serving different styles from the same infrastructure (as most vector tiles map providers do) there is certainly potential for energy saving by caching the vector representations on the server side. If the way this is done with current vector tiles stacks is the most efficient approach for that is a different matter of course. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
