It would be great to use vector maps< it would make the experience much faster, especially on mobile. An example of the great Topo map from OpenMapTiles: https://www.maptiler.com/maps/#topo//vector/10.97/6.5867/44.5709 See specs on https://openmaptiles.org/

Vector tile could be potentially also used offline on a PWA:

bumping this up

why ?

I don't see a big plus of rushing this as this is not supported out of the box by Google Maps. It would make sense to support this when either I switch map libs (pending having any good and cheap sources for terrain and satellite tiles) or make flyxc a PWA. None of this is planned too soon.
