Maps from the EU.
Tiles, geocoding, routing, places.

01Features

Why Tilezza?

Everything a production map needs — and nothing that would trigger a privacy audit.

GDPR-clean

Tiles are served first-party, from the EU. We never store visitor IP addresses — the access log is anonymous by design, so embedding needs no consent prompt.

Vector + raster

MapLibre GL vector tiles (MVT) and pre-rendered PNG for classic Leaflet — same data, same styles, same key.

10 styles + colours

Voyager, midnight, forest, pastel, a marker-friendly cool grey and more — plus a customisation API: override the colour of water, land, roads or labels with a single query parameter .

Speed

On a cache hit a tile is served in under a millisecond straight from the disk cache. We keep Europe pre-rendered to z2–12 and the world to z0–8; deeper zooms render on first request (~1 s) and are cached for everyone after that. Zoom levels 0–19 are served.

Metering

One tile = one request. Track your usage live on the dashboard. No opaque “map load” arithmetic.

Data source

OpenStreetMap + Protomaps: monthly fresh builds from the Protomaps pipeline, under the ODbL licence. Attribution is built into every style.

The libraries too

Leaflet and MapLibre GL are served from our servers too (/lib/), versioned and compressed — no foreign CDN needed. Every request your map makes stays in the EU, not just the tiles.

02Beyond tiles

The full location stack — one key

Everything below is metered on the same API key as your tiles, served first-party from the EU, and priced in plain tile-units.

Geocoding

GET /geocode?q=… — forward and reverse geocoding on OpenStreetMap data. Where the address data has the house number, you get the exact building — Austria is practically complete, Hungary is strong in cities. 2 tile-units per request.

Smart search

GET /geocode/okos?q=… — built for type-ahead boxes: typo-tolerant (“mezokvoesd” finds Mezőkövesd), city-first ranking, multiple ranked results, and a precision field. If the exact house number is unknown it interpolates between the nearest known numbers, and for street-level hits it returns the street geometry so you can highlight the whole street on the map.

Routing

GET /route — car, bicycle and pedestrian routing with turn-by-turn instructions in your language, across Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. Returns distance, time and the route geometry ready to draw. 8 tile-units per route.

Places — with photos

GET /places?lat=…&lon=… — “what’s nearby?” for Hungary and Austria: 384k places in 20 categories (transit, schools, spas, sights…), ranked by distance with a notability boost. Where a legally clean photo exists, we serve the image from our EU servers with author and licence attached — your visitor’s browser never talks to a third party. 4 tile-units per request.

See it live

Four demos, all running on the stack above: Geocoding — typos, precision, street highlighting · Routing — click two points, get the route with instructions · Places — click anywhere, get the neighbourhood with photos · 3D map — extruded buildings, live fire and earthquake overlays, drivable car.

03Code

Two lines and you’re live

Works with the map library you already use.

L.tileLayer(  'https://tilezza.eu/raster/voyager/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=YOUR_KEY',  { maxZoom: 19,    attribution: '© OpenStreetMap contributors © Protomaps' }).addTo(map);

new maplibregl.Map({  container: 'map',  style: 'https://tilezza.eu/api/style/voyager?key=YOUR_KEY'});

04Pricing

Start free

Paid plans launch soon — early users keep the generous limits. Annual billing takes 20% off every paid plan.

05Comparison

How does it compare?

An honest comparison based on public documentation and price lists (July 2026). Check the numbers yourself.

* OpenFreeMap is unlimited and community funded — and run by a Hungarian operator we respect. It only serves vector tiles though, has no SLA, and delivers through a US-owned proxy network. Hobby-grade free CDNs (Geoapify, Thunderforest and friends) cap out around 5 requests/s, which shows up as a map that loads tile by tile.
