As GIS applications increasingly demand higher map loading performance and visual effects, vector tiles technology has become the mainstream solution in the WebGIS field. SuperMap iServer has previously provided vector tiles service capabilities, but there were still gaps in rendering performance and visual effects.

To address this, SuperMap iServer 2026 introduces a new generation vector tiles service (vector tiles service V2). This feature allows users to publish a map service that complies with the vector tiles standard based on land type patch polygon data in a PostGIS database. It provides high-performance map generation capabilities based on both raster and vector tile types, and integrates full-process operational capabilities such as style management, data management, and cache production and management. It offers the following core values:

• Dual-Mode Output, Full Scenario Coverage: Vector tiles are delivered for front-end rendering + automatically rendered as raster tiles on the server side, enabling a single set of data to meet both client interaction and server-side map output requirements.
• One Database, Multiple Styles, Shared by Multiple Departments: A single data set can be bound to multiple styles, allowing different departments to customize exclusive display effects as needed, avoiding duplicate data publication.
• Two-Level Filtering, Precise Control: Attribute field selection and SQL condition filtering provide two levels of data control, precisely limiting the visible data range and optimizing tile generation efficiency.
• Interface Compatibility, Smooth Replacement: The interface covers the JW vector tiles service capabilities, ensuring zero perception and minimal changes for upper-layer applications when replacing the GIS platform.

• Vector Pre-Cache: Based on the map unit, vector pre-cache is produced uniformly for associated datasets, resulting in vector tile outputs used for raster tile conversion and front-end delivery.
• Raster Pre-Cache: Based on the map unit, a raster pre-cache is generated from the completed vector pre-cache. It is suitable for maps that accept pixel composition and is used for front-end delivery (typically for land type patch scenarios).
• Vector Tile Dynamic Cache: Vector tile cache generated during map browsing.
• Raster Tile Dynamic Cache: Raster tile cache generated during map browsing.
