- The Mapbox Vector Tile (MVT) format is widely adopted but outdated for current geospatial data needs.
- MapLibre Tile (MLT) is introduced as a new vector tile format to overcome MVT's limitations.
- MLT achieves up to three times better compression ratios and six times better on large tiles compared to MVT.
- MLT offers decoding speeds up to three times faster and enhances processing performance significantly.
- MLT is designed to support next-generation map renderers, fully offloading processing to the GPU.
