Solutions / Custom basemaps

Custom basemaps built around your product

Control the map’s visual hierarchy through a stable semantic layer contract instead of editing generated MapLibre layers by hand.

Full vector style studio

Design the basemap against the live contract

Choose a preset, search the map, customize every supported semantic layer, preview the compiled vector style, then save a profile or download its manifest and MapLibre JSON.

API key

A same-site preview key is loaded automatically when available. A key you enter stays in memory for this visit and is sent only to Mapsource.

The map editor loads as you approach this section.

Request / Response

Compile a semantic style

Start from the Mapsource preset and override supported layer colors and label visibility.

API call

curl --fail-with-body "https://api.mapsource.io/styles/compile" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MAPSOURCE_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"base":"mapsource","layers":{"water":{"fill":"#20495a"},"parks":{"fill":"#244c35"}},"labels":{"places":true}}'

Example response

{"schema":"mapsource-compiled-style.v1","style":{"version":8,"name":"Mapsource custom","sources":{"openmaptiles":{"type":"vector","url":"https://api.mapsource.io/tiles/vector/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf"}},"layers":[]},"warnings":[]}

Style concepts, not tile internals

Adjust roads, water, land use, buildings, boundaries and labels through named semantic layers. The compiler maps those choices onto the current vector-tile schema.

Save intent and revisions

Generate a starting point from design intent, upload supported fonts, save profiles and compare revisions. Deliver a saved profile as MapLibre style JSON or render it into authenticated XYZ PNG tiles.
