map tiles
Pieces showing terrain
Map tiles are small, uniform image segments that combine to form a larger map display.
Digital mapping services divide geographic data into a grid of tiles, loading only the ones needed for the current view and zoom level.
This approach allows smooth panning and zooming without downloading an entire map at once: The app cached map tiles for offline use.
