Building Cloud-Native Basemaps with PMTiles
2026-09-02 , Phoenix Hall

Vector tiles are a lightweight map data format that enables fast, client-side map rendering with libraries such as MapLibre.
One of their key advantages is the ability to create multiple map visualizations from the same data simply by switching styles.
At PASCO CORPORATION, we manage these vector tiles in the cloud-native PMTiles format and provide an API that serves basemaps through our own service, "GeogrAPI."
In this session, we will showcase a live demo site and share the benefits of adopting PMTiles, along with practical insights and implementation techniques gained through building and operating the service.
