Line tileset reference

Lines represent the edge between two boundaries and allow for clean dashed line styles and special display of disputed boundaries.

boundaries_admin_lines

Only the administrative (adm) boundary type is available as line data. The administrative lines tileset contains a single layer containing boundary lines for all administrative levels (adm0 through adm4).

id text

Boundary line IDs are usually composed by combining the IDs of the polygons from either side of the line (sorted alphanumerically and separated by a hyphen).

level text

The level is a number from 0 through 4 representing the lowest-numbered level the boundary is a part of.

dispute text

While no single map will reflect all global perspectives, acknowledging disputes where they exist is an important aspect of cartography and can lead to more universally usable maps. The dispute value will always be either true or false (never null). You should style boundary lines with a dispute value of true using a dashed or otherwise distinct style from non-disputed lines.

coastal text

The coastal field contains the text true or false indicating whether the boundary is along a coast or not. Most coastal boundaries are omitted from the line layer, so the values are nearly always false.

iso_3166_1 text

For boundaries with an level of 1 through 5, the iso_3166_1 value contains the id of the admin level 0 area that contains the boundary. For boundaries with a level of 0, the iso_3166_1 values is the same as the line id.

worldview text

The vector tiles contain multiple versions of some boundaries, each with a worldview value indicating the intended audience. It is important to apply a worldview filter to all your style layers. If you do not apply a worldview filter, your map will show conflicting and overlapping boundaries.

The worldview property will be either all or a comma-separated list of one or more ISO 3166-1 country codes. The supported region-specific worldviews are:

ValueDescription
ARFeatures for an Argentinian audience
CNFeatures for a mainland Chinese audience
INFeatures for an Indian audience
JPFeatures for a Japanese audience
MAFeatures for a Moroccan audience
RUFeatures for a Russian audience
TRFeatures for a Turkish audience
USFeatures for an American audience

Returned features are not officially approved for use by the above countries' respective governments.

Since a single feature can belong to more than one worldview, you will need to use the "in" operator (available in Mapbox GL JS 1.6.0 or later) to construct a layer filter.

This example filter enables a US worldview. Be sure to always include both "all" and one of the region-specific values.
