Base map

The basemap combines open data from BEV, GIP, Umweltbundesamt and BMLUK in 18 layers. It contains no OpenStreetMap data. Cadastre, contour lines and relief are separate products and can be layered on top.

Live map

Click the map: attributes of features at the point.

The live map shows the layers with automatic colors; your own style defines the final look. Clicking shows the attributes.

Add to your map

new maplibregl.Map({
  container: "map",
  style: {
    version: 8,
    sources: { v: { type: "vector", url: "https://tiles.mapx.at/v1/tiles/streets.json" } },
    layers: [{ id: "road_l", type: "line", source: "v", "source-layer": "road_l", paint: { "line-color": "#b5651d" } }]
  }
});

TileJSON provides zoom range, bounds and attribution. Send the token with every request: add the transformRequest from First map to the map options. With PMTiles directly use url: "pmtiles://https://tiles.mapx.at/mapx-basis-20260401-6ae3c128.pmtiles?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN" (protocol as in the PMTiles guide).

Vector Tiles → New Connection, URL https://tiles.mapx.at/v1/tiles/streets/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN, leave the style URL empty. Alternatively open the PMTiles file directly as a layer (QGIS 3.32 and later reads PMTiles over HTTP).

Layer reference

A layer name ending in _a is an area, _l a line, _p a point. min_zoom on a feature says from which level it is intended; sort_rank orders within the layer.

Notes

Not included: stops of private railways, subway and tram stops; ski areas as of 2017; small airfields only in part.
Abroad the map is practically empty (only Lake Constance and waters up to just beyond the border).
The tileset contains no glyphs or sprites. The mapx styles load them from https://api.mapx.at/v1/fonts/{fontstack}/{range}.pbf and /v1/styles/streets/sprite; a style of your own needs a glyphs URL (for example the /v1/fonts endpoint, token included).
