Tiles API allows loading only the necessary map areas, which saves traffic and does not require high computing power. The map can be zoomed in and scrolled, and with additional tools, points of interest can be overlaid on it and route lines can be displayed.

The free Tiles API will help solve problems primarily for small companies from various industries — from e-commerce to the service sector, as well as non-profit or educational projects. For example, a chain of beauty salons can embed a map on the website and mark the branch network, and a manufacturer of smart watches can upload a map substrate to the gadget to display the user's route. By integrating a map layer into the CRM system, a logistics company can structure customer orders on it.
In addition to Tiles API, Yandex Maps offers other open tools. For example, Geoanalytics for analyzing the business potential of city districts, free functions of the organization card to attract customers, and part of the Yandex Maps API products within certain limits for solving problems related to navigation and routing.
