MapBox Vector Tileset

Load MapBox Vector Tiles

Global Mapper can load data from MapBox Vector Tiles (*.mbtiles) format. This data will load as a base map and the imported features cannot be selected or edited in Global Mapper.

The Layer Options for MapBox Vector Tile layers allow the user to specify a color for a feature layer and hide specific data layers from the file.

Export to MapBox Vector Format

MapBox Vector Tiles export is available from the menu File > Export > Export Vector/Lidar Format... and File > Export > Export Web Format...

Exported vector data will be exported to a single MapBox Vector Tiles database file. Within the exported database a separate MapBox Vector Tile layer will be created for each vector layer exported from Global Mapper.

Zoom Levels

Set the minimum and maximum zoom levels to be used for the export.
