Pre-generated tilesets

Pre-generated tilesets are sources with tiles that have been previously generated using either the CARTO Analytics Toolbox or Workflows. Both the creation and storage of these tilesets occur in the data warehouse. This type of data source is ideal for managing very large, static datasets. They are efficient, cost-effective, and provide high-performance visualization.

Visualizing pre-generated tilesets

Builder supports the visualization of the four types of pre-generated tilesets:

• Vector Tilesets: Pre-generated tilesets processed from point, line, or polygon tables for smooth, interactive maps.

• Point Aggregation Tilesets: These tilesets aggregate point data with their properties into tilesets, perfect for visualizing dense point clusters.

• Quadbin Aggregation Tilesets: Aggregated grid for scallable hierarchy management.

• H3 Aggregation Tilesets: Aggregate quadbin indices into tilesets for scallable spatial hierarcy management.

To ensure optimizal visualization and performance, you must make use of the different parameters that allow you to have full-control of the tileset specification. To learn more about this type of source in terms of performance consideration, review this section.
