Vector Tiles Google Maps is a JavaScript library to render vector tiles in Google Maps.

The library provides funcionality to enable cache, filter features, apply styles, onclick event, mouse hover, and show/hide layers.

Further work would be to load Mapxbox GL Styles in Google Maps.

• Google Maps JavaScript API
• Mapbox vector tiles
• Protocol Buffers
• JavaScript

• Basic - Basic loading vector tiles with debug enabled.
• Cache - Cache enabled.
• Click - Click to select one or multiple features.
• Hover - On mouse hover event.
• Preselected features - Set features as selected before loading.
• Filter - Filter features by it properties.
• Layers - Add remove vector tiles layers.
• Styles - Change style dynamically.
• Styles feature - Style based on feature properties.
• Style filter and layer - Update the style, filter and visible layers simultaneously.
• Point, linestring and polygon - Show all type of geometries.
• Custom draw - Custom draw function for each feature.

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/techjb/Vector-Tiles-Google-Maps.git

2. Install NPM packages

   npm install

3. Get your own API Key for the Maps JavaScript API and replace it in all the provided examples

   <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY" defer></script>

Create the MVTSource object and then insert it as a overlayMapType. Provide the vector tiles server url in the options object.

var options = {
    url: "http://your_vector_tiles_url/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf"
};

var mvtSource = new MVTSource(map, options);
map.overlayMapTypes.insertAt(0, mvtSource);

• Insert the MVTSource after tiles have been loaded for the first time to avoid duplicate invocation to GetTile(). It is documented in this issue tracker.

 google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'tilesloaded', function () {
    map.overlayMapTypes.insertAt(0, mvtSource);
});

• If you need to set style based on feature property or trigger onClick or onMouseHover event, set the property getIDForLayerFeature option with the function that returns the unique id for each feature.

var options = {    
    getIDForLayerFeature: function(feature) {
        return feature.properties.id;
    }
};

• Enable cache for better performance and smooth flow.

var options = {    
    cache: true
};

• Set the sourceMaxZoom option to enable overzoom.

var options = {    
    sourceMaxZoom: 14
};

See documentation for the contructor options and public methods.
