Topic:
Vector Tile Style Editor Strategies

: Creating effective environmental maps requires more than just displaying geographic information—it demands clear, tailored visual communication that supports analysis, storytelling, and decision making. The Vector Tile Style Editor offers a powerful, flexible way to design custom vector basemaps that elevate projects by aligning map aesthetics across multiple disciplines with project-specific goals, like unique labeling and symbology. This presentation demonstrates how using the Vector Tile Style Editor enables GIS professionals to adjust color schemes, symbology, feature visibility, and labeling to highlight critical elements of large environmental projects, such as environmental impact statements, jurisdictional determination reports and multi-permit projects. By leveraging lightweight vector tiles and dynamic styling, teams can produce consistent, scalable cartographic products across web and mobile platforms with minimal performance overhead. Through some project examples, we will show how customized vector basemaps enhance stakeholder communication, improve analytical clarity, and support more impactful environmental assessments. Attendees will leave with a cursory understanding as to how to use the Vector Tile Style Editor and practical strategies for integrating customized vector basemaps into their workflows and maximizing the value of the Vector Tile Style Editor in environmental document production.
