Light Base Map (Vector Tile Style)
«Light base map» is a visually and content reduced base map, which represents the most relevant topographic features and names adapted to the respective zoom level. It is constructed on the basis of official data: the topographic landscape model, the digital elevation model, digital cartographic models, public transportation stops and official street registry. The vector representation is based on the Maplibre Style Specification. The data basis consists of vector tiles (Base Vector Tileset and Relief Vector Tileset).
