# Vector Tiles

{{ activity_source_note("VectorTileActivity.kt") }}

You can specify where to load MVTs (which sometimes have `.pbf` extension) by creating a `TileSet` object with template parameters (for example `{z}` which will be replaced with the zoom level).

MapLibre has [a repo](https://github.com/maplibre/demotiles/tree/gh-pages/tiles-omt) with some example vector tiles with the OpenMapTiles schema around Innsbruck, Austria. In the example we load these MVTs and create a line layer for the road network.
