We provide advanced but simple to use vector maps with styles for displaying rich data about properties, addresses, roads and enviroment and many other things. You can use Mapbox or MapLibre GL JS to render the maps in both web and mobile apps. Maps are updated daily and hot swapped.

​
Before Getting Started

Prior to using the maps engine you need to ensure you have proper access by allowing domains to use the API. Each domain you use to access our maps needs to be added which is very simple. You add each domain by posting the domain to the https://api.tic.io/teams/tiles/cors endpoint. If you want to access in development mode you can also add your localhost:port.
cURL
curl  \
--request POST
--header "Content-Type: application/json"
--header "x-api-key:your_api_key"
--data '{
  "Domain": "http://mydomain.com"
}'
https://api.tic.io/teams/tiles/cors

​
Getting Started

This example shows how you get started with MapLibre GL JS in a webpage. Include the JavaScript and CSS files in the head of your HTML file. 
<script src='https://unpkg.com/maplibre-gl@latest/dist/maplibre-gl.js'></script>
<link href='https://unpkg.com/maplibre-gl@latest/dist/maplibre-gl.css' rel='stylesheet' />
Include the following code in the body of your HTML file. 
<div id='map' style='width: 800px; height: 800px;'></div>

<script>
  var map = new maplibregl.Map({
      container: "map",
      style: "https://tiles2.tic.io/style/super-map-style2",
      center: [19.8756, 63.5569], // starting position [lng, lat]
      zoom: 4,  // starting zoom
      attributionControl: false
  });
</script>

​
Draw additional details

Property borders and buildings are by default included in the style but if you wish to draw areas and greater details about building numbers, usage type etc you can download the property details from https://api.tic.io/datasets/properties/se/uuid. This endpoint gives you additional data and areas. In the example below we are adding four(4) layers:
  • Areas
  • Building parts (already included in the default style)
  • Building parts text (number)
  • Areas text (number)
Result will look like the example below where the area is filled with light blue opacity and buildings are drawn in yellow adding the text number. Vector map with areas and building numbers For simplicity we are using Lodash. Include the JavaScript and CSS files in the head of your HTML file.

​
Custom Styles

You can copy the style that we provide and make your own adjustments. We recommend using Maputnik which is a visual editor for MapLibre and MapBox style specifiation. It allows you to make modifications to your style and save the json style sheet and host it yourself. Each source object in the style reference our tileserver, tiles2.tic.io, which requires CORS. Therefore ensure you have added your domain to the API. Each URL consists of the following format which contains four(4) parts in the URL that should be replaced https://tiles2.tic.io/database.schema.table.column e.g database, schema, table and column. You have access to the following databases that are updated daily and runs on PostGIS with PostgreSQL. The tile server serves tiles cached and it’s extremley fast
DatabaseDescription
lm_belagenhetsadressContains all information relating to an address
lm_fastighetsindelningContains all information relating to an property
lm_top1mContains topography 1:1M
lm_top10Contains topography 1:10
lm_top10Contains topography 1:10
naturalearthContains Natural Earth
ormeoContains extended databases such as the EBH which is a national database of contaminated areas
Check next section for a full data dictionary.

​
Data Dictionary

Each databases consists of geometric tables and in total they are 248. Each table then contains a range of columns that can be used to be displayed on the map. For simplicity we are adding a full data dictionary in PDF (582 pages) that you can download and easier search in and pick the fields you want to display. Download the data dictionary here Adding a source layer is very simple in the style sheet and we have made an example below. Let’s say you want to show railroads in the map (enabled by default in our stylesheet), you check the PDF-dictionary and find that there is a table called ralstrafik (English: rail roads) and the column geom contains the geometry of the railroads. Just add a source object with the nickname “ralstrafik” and you are done: 
"ralstrafik": {
      "type": "vector",
      "url": "https://tiles2.tic.io/lm_top10.table.public.ralstrafik.geom"
    },
This should be interpreted as Database = lm_top10 Schema = public Table = ralstrafik Column = geom
Please note that the data directory contains a suffix on the databases in the format _YYYYMMDD which should NOT be included in the URL. It just shows when the table was most recentley updated
