  • Benchmark includes speed tests and interactive side-by-side comparison at vectormap.ch.
  • Results from Fabian Rechsteiner's Master’s thesis at the University of Salzburg.
  • Benchmark code available on GitHub for future updates.
  • Short analysis available in Geomatik Schweiz, edition 11-12/2024 (paywalled).
  • Speed is an important but not the only factor in choosing a vector tile server.
