FeatureViews
Accelerated visualization of vector datasets with enhanced rendering and styling capabilities
Accelerated visualization of vector datasets with enhanced rendering and styling capabilities
FeatureView assets are a view-only, accelerated visualization of an Earth Engine FeatureCollection with more control over styling and rendering characteristics. Unlike a FeatureCollection, whose map tiles are generated on the fly, FeatureView tiles are pre-computed, allowing the tiles to begin transferring to the application immediately upon request.
