# Terrain 3D (Cesium quantized mesh)

The tiles contain elevation data encoded into vector TIN polygons in format for the Cesium JavaScript library. The data source is using EGM96 datum.

Check out the [Cesium tutorial](https://docs-qmgv.pages.dev/cesium/) showing how to create a map and display it on a web page using MapTiler data.
