I didn't realise open street map had made so much progress, the demo page looks really nice. The satellite view is not very detailed where I was checking but other than that I'm very impressed with the offering.

Both are available, see https://www.maptiler.com/maps/
The software Maptiler is for raster output. Not sure what that map page is supposed to demo.
It says "Continue to MapTiler Cloud" in the bottom right corner. https://www.maptiler.com/cloud/
Looks like it's an online map editor/map viewer that supports both vector an raster images.

#13This is raster tiles, not vector.
There seem to be a "vector raster" switch hidden in the map view of the ... product demo or whatever that is. Alas, I couldn't find what this has to do with OSM anywhere, so I don't get why it's mentioned in the submission title.

The software generates map tiles out of OSM data, based on a few sample points I looked at.

Openstreetmap is just the underlying data - absolutely anyone can come along and build a program to draw images from it. That's why OSM is so powerful, and what distinguishes it from Google maps etc.

Maptiler is not OpenStreeMap - they're one of the many companies who productize OSM.
Which is exactly the way it's meant to be.

That's what I thought originally - similar to Mapnik. But I've downloaded it and can't see any way to work from raw osm data.

That, and OSM helps you find things other than retail outlets.

#18The examples on the site totally hijack my back button on iOS.
I hope you get your back button back.

It could definitely do with some replaceState instead of pushState.

#20Unfortunately I bought a license for MapTiler and then I lost it when I reinstalled my pc. They preferred to do email ping-pong instead of giving me my license back. Apparently you have to "release" the license before reinstalling the pc. Because this is what you have to put up with if you try to be fair and actually pay for software...
