Key Features

Map Hosting: MapTiler Cloud provides cloud-based hosting for custom maps and geospatial data. Users can store and serve their map tiles and vector data in the cloud, either by uploading their own data or selecting from a range of basemaps and overlays available in the MapTiler Cloud library.

Map Styling: According to the vendor, MapTiler Cloud offers flexible styling tools that allow users to customize the visual appearance of their maps. They can modify colors, labels, icons, and other visual elements to create visually appealing and informative maps. The platform supports a variety of map styles including street maps, satellite imagery, and topographic maps.

Geocoding: MapTiler Cloud includes geocoding functionality, enabling users to convert addresses or place names into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). Users can utilize the geocoding API to search for specific locations, find nearby points of interest, and perform spatial queries. The vendor claims that the geocoding data is regularly updated and provides global coverage.

Routing: MapTiler Cloud allows users to calculate optimal routes between multiple locations. They can specify various routing options such as transportation mode (driving, walking, cycling) and avoidances (tolls, highways). The routing engine takes into account real-time traffic data, road networks, and other factors to provide accurate and efficient route calculations.

Data Visualization: Users can visualize their geospatial data on interactive maps in MapTiler Cloud. They can overlay their own datasets, such as points, lines, and polygons, onto the map to display and analyze spatial information. The platform provides interactive tooltips, pop-ups, and customizable styling options to enhance the presentation of the data.

Map Embedding: MapTiler Cloud offers seamless integration of maps into websites, applications, and services. Users can generate map embed codes or utilize the MapTiler SDKs to integrate maps into their preferred platforms. The embedded maps are fully interactive, allowing users to pan, zoom, and interact with the map features.

Map Analytics: MapTiler Cloud provides analytics tools to track and analyze map usage and user interactions. Users can gain insights into map views, user interactions, and other metrics to understand how their maps are being utilized. The analytics data can be used to optimize map performance, improve user experience, and make data-driven decisions.

Collaboration and Sharing: With MapTiler Cloud, users can collaborate and share maps with team members or external stakeholders. They can invite others to view, edit, or manage maps, enabling collaborative map creation and editing. Map sharing options include public sharing, password-protected sharing, and sharing with specific individuals or groups.

Map Printing: MapTiler Cloud allows users to generate high-resolution map images for printing purposes. They can customize the map layout, scale, and resolution to create printable maps suitable for various use cases. The printing feature supports both raster and vector map outputs.

MapTiler SDKs and APIs: MapTiler Cloud provides SDKs and APIs for developers to integrate maps and geospatial functionality into their applications. The SDKs and APIs offer a wide range of functionalities, including map rendering, geocoding, routing, and more. They are available for popular platforms such as web, Android, iOS, and desktop applications.
