OS Vector Tile API is a vector tile service providing detailed Ordnance Survey data as a customisable basemap. It can be used with most web mapping libraries including Mapbox GL JS, Leaflet, OpenLayers and ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Vector Tiles have the benefit of being optimised for use across the internet and are great for building interactive web maps. You can zoom, pan, rotate, tilt and even extrude 3D buildings.
You have a choice between using Ordnance Survey styles or creating your own. You can customise the content and the style to create a map that perfectly meets your needs. Design a map that matches your brand or get creative and add some cartographic flair to your application.
