sorry if this is a duplicate, but I was wondering how to tell if a map service (in web browser) is vector based or raster based?
What I think to understood so far is that Google Maps for example is vector based, because when you zoom in, street names do not get bigger but stay the same, therefore their data is not saved in raster format. Is that correct? And if that is the case, is Here Maps then definitely raster based? Because when I zoom in on their maps, labels get bigger at first just like when you zoom in on a picture. Only afterwards the new material is loaded and the labels appear smaller and more crisp again.
Thanks in advance
