Introduction to Tiling & Cost Optimizations

Overview

In this webinar, you’ll learn about map tiles and precision levels, how these concepts factor into Mapbox pricing and optimization methods to estimate and reduce costs. We’ll also demo our new Data Sync Tool, which simplifies the process to generate tilesets through MTS.  

You’ll learn...

• What map tiles are 
• How to generate tilesets at Mapbox
• How Mapbox charges for tilesets
• The visual implications of a tileset’s maxzoom 
• Use cases for various precision levels 
• How to estimate your costs 
• Data Sync Tool Demo‍
