Adding a vector tile layer to the map

Uncomment the following line to install leafmap if needed.

1
# !pip install leafmap

This notebook example requires the ipyleaflet plotting backend. Folium is not supported.

1
from leafmap import leafmap

Create an interactive map.

1
m = leafmap.Map(center=(52.204793, 360.121558), zoom=9)

The URL to the vector tile.

1
url = "https://tile.nextzen.org/tilezen/vector/v1/512/all/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt?api_key=gCZXZglvRQa6sB2z7JzL1w"

Attribution of the vector tile.

1
attribution = "Nextzen"

One can customize the vector tile layer style if needed. More info can be found at https://ipyleaflet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/layers/vector_tile.html

Conditional styling (example here) currently works only with folium. Use:

1
import leafmap.foliumap as leafmap
