Add a map to Tableau
Use a map from your MapTiler Server as a background map in Tableau, for example to show your data on your own map in an offline or on-premises environment. Tableau loads the map from a Tableau Map Source (TMS) file, which you can download from MapTiler Server.
Before you start, you need:
- MapTiler Server installed and running with some maps
- Tableau Desktop installed
Download the TMS file
- In MapTiler Server admin, go to the map you want to use.
- Scroll down on the map details page to Tableau and download the TMS file:
- Download vector TMS for current Tableau versions
- Download raster TMS for legacy Tableau versions that don’t support vector maps
Import the map into Tableau
- In Tableau Desktop, select Map > Background Maps > Manage Maps.
- Click Import and select the TMS file you downloaded.
Tableau adds the map and makes it the default background map. For more details, see the Tableau docs.
