Release of Vector Tile Basemaps
The Queensland Government has released a new range of vector tile basemaps. These will replace the current range of raster tile basemaps which have entered mature support and will deprecated by the end of 2024. New service URL’s are as follows:
Variant | URL |
Blue | |
Colour | |
Dark Grey | |
ImageryLabel | |
Light Grey | |
Monochrome | |
Pastel | |
Topographic |
Why the change
Over time, the existing raster basemaps have become increasing cumbersome to produce, in both human and technical resources, resulting in outdated spatial data being displayed. Moving basemap production to vector tile technology allows a far quicker and less involved method of production, allowing them to be updated more frequently. This shift mirrors industry trends and has improved printing capability.
What you need to do
In any mapping applications you maintain, adjust any saved URL’s to the new vector basemaps from a new REST endpoint here.
Queensland Globe and GeoResGlobe users may need to add the new vector basemaps to any saved maps they may have.
Spatial Portal, QPortal and QSpatial Live users will need to look for the new vector basemaps.
