For research purposes and leaving some breadcrumbs for any one of us able to look into this a bit more, could the This was originally found at https://leafletjs.com/plugins.html#vector-tiles. Please also take note of another related plugin just below: |
I had sometime to experiment with Leaflet.VectorGrid. I have a CodePen Demo. I don't have much experience with vector tile, so not sure how much the demo matches the expected behavior. Some initial thoughts:

@pmacMaps thanks for poking around and coming up with a demo and some initial findings. I've nothing new to add to the conversation at the moment, unfortunately. |
