The raster map is loaded by default, and loads the map as a grid of\npixel-based raster image tiles, which are generated by Google Maps Platform\nserver-side, then served to your web app. The vector map is a composed of\nvector-based tiles, which are drawn at load time on the client-side using\nWebGL, a web technology that allows the browser to access the GPU on the user's\ndevice to render 2D and 3D graphics. The vector map type is recommended for the\nbest user experience, as it provides improved visual fidelity as well as the\nability to control tilt and heading on the map.\n[Learn more about vector map features.](/maps/documentation/javascript/vector-map)\n\nSet the rendering type for a map either by specifying the `renderingType` map\noption, or by setting the option on an associated map ID. The `renderingType`\noption overrides any rendering type settings made by configuring a map ID.\n\nSpecify the `renderingType` option\n----------------------------------\n\nUse the `renderingType` option to specify either the raster or vector\nrendering type for your map (no map ID required). For maps loaded using a `div`\nelement and JavaScript, the default rendering type is\n`google.maps.RenderingType.RASTER`. Take these steps to set the `renderingType`\noption:\n\n1. Load the `RenderingType` library; this can be done when loading the Maps\n library:\n\n const { Map, RenderingType } = await google.maps.importLibrary(\"maps\");\n\n2. When initializing the map, use the `renderingType` option to specify either\n `RenderingType.VECTOR` or `RenderingType.RASTER`:\n\n map = new Map(\n document.getElementById('map'),\n {\n zoom: 4,\n center: position,\n renderingType: RenderingType.VECTOR,\n }\n );\n\nWhen the vector map rendering type is set, you must set the options for the\nneeded features.\n\n- To enable tilt, set the `tiltInteractionEnabled` map option to `true` or call `map.setTiltInteractionEnabled(true)`.\n- To enable panning, set the `headingInteractionEnabled` map option to `true` or call `map.setHeadingInteractionEnabled(true)`.\n\nFor maps loaded using the `\u003cgmp-map\u003e` element, the default rendering type is\n`google.maps.RenderingType.VECTOR`, with tilt and heading control enabled. To\nset the rendering type by using the `\u003cgmp-map\u003e` element, use the\n`rendering-type` attribute.\n\nUse a map ID to set rendering type\n----------------------------------\n\nYou can also specify the rendering type by using a map ID. To create a new map\nID, follow the steps in [Using Cloud-based Map Styling - Get a map ID](/maps/documentation/javascript/styling#creating-map-ids).\nBe sure to set the Map type to **JavaScript** , and select an option (**Vector**\nor **Raster** ). Check **Tilt** and **Rotation** to enable tilt and rotation\non the map. Doing so will allow you to programmatically adjust these values, and\nalso lets users adjust tilt and heading directly on the map. If the use of tilt\nor heading will adversely affect your app, leave **Tilt** and **Rotation** un-\nchecked so users will not be able to adjust tilt and rotation.\n\nNext, update your map initialization code with the map ID you created. You can\nfind your map IDs on the\n[Maps\nManagement](https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/studio/maps) page. Provide a map ID when you instantiate the map using the\n`mapId` property as shown here: \n\n```javascript\nmap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {\n center: {lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644},\n zoom: 8,\n mapId: '\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eMAP_ID\u003c/var\u003e'\n});\n```\n| **Important:** It is recommended to associate your map ID and API key with the same Google Cloud console project."]]
