Consider storing/serving WDPA layer as vector tiles #1639

Closed rboller closed 5 years ago

rboller commented 5 years ago

Currently we're using a rasterized version of the WDPA layer which doesn't allow us to change its style. This can be problematic if the WDPA layer is similarly colored as the underlying satellite imagery.

If we stored and served it as vector tiles, it could allow the user to adjust the style as needed.

I understand you guys have a lot on your plate, but if you already have some processes that generate vector tiles, I would be happy to use that code, tweak it to process WDPA and check it back to your system. Either FIRMS or you could host the final tile imagery.

Hey @olsinao, that all sounds great here. I'll start a new thread for us to discuss options.
