# Vector tiles

OS MasterMap Sites Layer is supplied as a national vector tiles set in a single MBTiles file. This is a lightweight set of tiles that are efficient and fast to render in your software, and which provide high resolution data and give a seamless experience when zooming in and out. The data is supplied in Web Mercator projection (ESPG:3857).

## Vector tiles schema <a href="#bookmark59" id="bookmark59"></a>

The vector tiles schema is detailed in the following table. In the zoom levels columns within the table, the letter *N* indicates that the specified layer and attribute are not mapped within that zoom level, whereas the letter *Y* indicates that the specified later and attribute are mapped within that zoom level.
