Tutorial: Tutorial terrain-vector-tiles#

This project demonstrates how to build interactive 3D maps in a web browser using the MapLibre GL JS library. It showcases the use of vector tiles and raster terrain data (potentially from LiDAR sources) to visualize landscape height and geographic features. It leverages the PMTiles format and protocol for efficient distribution of map data over the web.
