A process, and corresponding system for performing the process, is described for editing and representing property values for a digital map. The process retrieves electronic map data from a style sheet corresponding to a vector map tile set for a digital map and displays map layer styles in a property editor panel, where each map style layer references a portion of the data and one or more visual style rules to apply to the portion. The process also displays a visual map with the map layer styles applied. Upon receiving selection of one or more map style layers from the plurality of map style layers, the process displays style layer properties and values corresponding to each. The process renders in the visual map only the selected one or more style layers marked as visible. As edits are made in the property editor panel, the visual map is updated to reflect the changes.

Modifying style layer properties of a digital map

A process, and corresponding system for performing the process, is described herein for visual identification of label collision for a digital map. The process determines a set of labels to be rendered in a visual map corresponding to a digital map. For each label in the set, a label boundary is created around the label. If any of the label boundaries in the set of labels overlap, the process determines a display priority for each of the first label and the second label in an overlapping label pair. In response to the first label in the pair having a higher display priority than the second label in the pair, the boundary for the first label is rendered in a first visual style and the label boundary for the second label in a second visual style. As priorities or properties are changed, the visual map is updated to reflect the changes.

Providing graphical indication of label boundaries in digital maps

A process and system allow for visually representing style layer properties of a digital map across various zoom levels. From a style sheet for a digital map, a plurality of style layer properties for a style layer corresponding to the digital map are determined for rendering in the form of a visual map, including various property values for different zoom levels. From these, a zoom level function is generated between pairs of the values for a particular style layer property, by assigning property values (a continuous range or finite set) between the first property value and the second property value in the pair. A visual map based on vector map tiles rendered according to the zoom level function is displayed according to the selected zoom level. As values are changed, the visual map is updated to reflect the changes.
