[mapguide-users] Vector tile support (Was re: HTML5 client-side viewer (Was re: Re-thinking Fusion redlining efficiency))

[Johan Van de Wauw]

http://www.somebits.com/weblog/tech/vector-tile-river-map.html

Apart from serving the geometry, ideally the formatting from the
map/layerdefinitions should also be served (using SLD or something
simpler).
