07-04, 15:20–15:25 (Europe/Tallinn), QFieldCloud (246)

This short talk is about applying the concept of tiles to store geospatial information in a database and use it efficiently. We'll explore the scenarios where this method is beneficial and demonstrate how to implement it using PostgreSQL/PostGIS and the ST_AsMV function for data storage, retrieval, and visualization.
