Question 1

What is Kaleidr Tile?

Accepted Answer

Kaleidr Tile is a way to design, style, and serve your own map tiles. You craft custom basemaps — controlling colors, typography, and labels — and enhance them with 3D visualization, real-time data layers, and decorative styling, then serve them to your own maps and products.

Question 2

What can I customize with Kaleidr Tile?

Accepted Answer

You can customize the full look of a basemap: colors, typography, and labels for a branded style, plus decorative layers, datasets, and 3D-enhanced visualization. The result is a map tile set crafted your way rather than a generic off-the-shelf basemap.

Question 3

What is a custom basemap?

Accepted Answer

A custom basemap is your own branded base map style — the background map your data and markers sit on. Instead of a default look, Kaleidr Tile lets you control the palette, type, labels, and layers so the map matches your product or brand.

Question 4

Does Kaleidr Tile support 3D and real-time data layers?
