Hi

I am building a customized map based on the new swisstopo vector tiles inside a native mobile iOS and Android app. I am currently evaluating Mapbox, Maplibre and Here Maps to be able to render the map on the device. Does anyone already have experiences using any of these (or a different SDK with support for vector tiles) and can recommend one over the other?

Thanks! 
Stefan

Hi

since vectortiles.geo.admin.ch is following the  MVT open standard you can run it in all your mentioned SDK's
- VT is on the roadmap of the SDK https://openmobilemaps.io/ 
- asking via twitter with the #swissgis is a good choice

I didn't know https://openmobilemaps.io/, thanks! can't use it yet without vector tiles though.

I hope to be able to use MapLibre, since it's open. But I ran into a crash/issue and wanted to check here if that's a common experience or if others are using swisstopo tiles successfully with MapLibre. I would find it weird to use the official government API with a commercial product that has to be licensed based on active users like Mapbox, but if that's the only reliable way I will probably do it.
