iD Editor : Support for vector tile data
- Mentors
- Bryan Housel, geohacker

- OpenStreetMap
iD currently uses publicly available reference data when editing OpenStreetMap. This data is often in the form of raster tiles (aerial imagery published as bitmap, gif, jpeg). This project aims to provide support for vector tiled data. Vector tiles are a popular open standard to deliver map geometry and metadata, in form of pre-defined roughly-square shaped "tiles", to a browser or other client application.
