Here you are able to adjust metadata information and output tile format. Once we added all of the required attributes, we are all set and we can proceed to the Output settings page. In the attributes section, we can also change names to be used in the output. They are listed in a table where you can add or remove them by checking the checkboxes. We add them by selecting the input layer and clicking " Add attribute" in the Attributes section. Each input file consists of a set of attributes. Rendering more zoom levels gives you an opportunity to easily manipulate your final file and decide later when your data will be visible, on the other hand, it increases rendering time and final file size.įor now, the output layer is still empty and contains no attributes. Zoom 0 means your data will be rendered and visible on the map even if your users zoom out to the whole planet level.

Here you can add more than just one input layer to your output layer and also set the zoom levels for each layer separately. Select the output layer on the left and click on the " Add source" button in the Source layers section, to add new input. If you create a new output layer, you need to specify which inputs will it include. We will also remove the pre-generated layers by selecting them and clicking " Remove" next to the Add button. Creating a new output layer is possible by clicking on the " Add" button in the bottom left corner. In the next step, you can mix more layers together or create a new one which is a combination of selected inputs. In the next step, we'll select the MBTiles output format, so we can style the output with help of MapTiler Cloud and proceed to the "Output vector tiles" page. In the case of example datasets, there is no need to set the coordinate system or change geographical location. You can export it in any Geospatial data format.ĭrag and drop these two or more vector data into MapTiler Engine or load them. Testing data used in our example is the point dataset containing the world's major airports.

In this example, we'll show you how to combine more data sources into one output.Įven though using more than one input source is allowed only in MapTiler Engine Pro, changing output layers and organizing attributes is available within all editions.Įxample: combining data from two sources Testing data However, MapTiler Engine allows you to do more advanced operations with vector tiles. The basic flow for simple vector tiles generating in a few steps is described in a separate article.
