Is it possible to adjust the zoom extent of your tileset?
It is not possible to adjust the zoom extent of tilesets created by uploading raw geospatial data to your Mapbox account using Mapbox Studio or the Uploads API. You will need to process the data into tiles before uploading to your Mapbox account using either Mapbox Tiling Service or Tippecanoe as described below.
How does the zoom settings work in Mapbox?
To prevent both of these potential issues, the Mapbox Uploads API analyzes your data and automatically determines the maximum and minimum zoom levels at which tiles should be rendered. For raster tilesets, the uploaded image resolution sets the minzoom and maxzoom levels.
What happens when you reduce the zoom of a vector tile?
Simplification at lower zoom levels reduces complexity on the map in places where the details would not even be noticed. This simplification makes the map load more efficiently. The amount of data that can exist in a single vector tile has an upper size limit.
How do I make a tileset in Tippecanoe?
Create your tileset using Tippecanoe’s zoom level options. For example, to set the minimum zoom to 2 and maximum zoom to 7, the command would look something like this: Upload the MBTiles file you created in step 3 to your Mapbox account as a tileset.
How are tilesets used in the Mapbox library?
What is a tileset? A tileset is a collection of raster or vector data broken up into a uniform grid of square tiles at up to 22 preset zoom levels. Tilesets are used in Mapbox libraries and SDKs as a core piece of making maps visible on mobile or in the browser; they are also the main mechanism we use for determining map views.
Why are the zoom levels limited in Mapbox?
When you upload data to your Mapbox account as a tileset, you may notice that your data has been simplified or that it is not rendered at all zoom levels. The Mapbox Streets source data is also limited to specific zoom levels. This guide provides an explanation for why this happens.
What happens if you delete a tile in Mapbox?
You can permanently delete a tileset from your account at any time. Deleted tilesets may not be recovered. From this menu, you can also copy the tileset ID to be used with Mapbox SDKs and APIs. You can find additional information about your tilesets in the Tileset explorer.
