    name: Mapbox Tiling Service
    description: Mapbox Tiling Service (MTS) is a tool for creating vector tilesets. With MTS, you use
      sets of configuration options (tileset recipes) to transform your geospatial data into vector tiles.
      The resulting tiles are hosted on Mapbox servers for use in your applications.
