What Is a Vector Map?
Unlike raster formats, that store geographic information as pixels, vector files store data as coordinates and shapes, allowing for clean and scalable display of the map. As a result, vector maps can be zoomed in or out, rotated, or otherwise manipulated, while still maintaining a clean, sharp appearance.
How does a Vector map work?
The geographic features, such as points, lines, and polygons, are stored as mathematical equations. These equations describe the shapes and locations of the features in a coordinate system. Vectors can be displayed on a device or software that is capable of rendering the mathematical equations as graphical elements on a map.
Where to use a vector map?
You can use you vector maps everywhere! The possibilities with vector maps are endless, because they are scalable, easily editable, perfect for print-ready graphics and ultra sharp for digital publishments.
