# Add a tile layer

The tile layer feature, like the reference layer feature, allows additional data to be overlaid on the map to provide more context. Tile layers allow you to superimpose images on top of the Azure Maps base map tiles. Superimposing images is a great way to overlay large or complex datasets such as imagery from drones, or millions of rows of data.

A tile layer loads in tiles from a server. These images can either be prerendered or dynamically rendered. prerendered images are stored like any other image on a server using a naming convention that the tile layer understands. Dynamically rendered images use a service to load the images close to real time. Tile layers are a great way to visualize large datasets on the map. Not only can a tile layer be generated from an image, vector data can also be rendered as a tile layer too.

The bounding box and zoom range of where a tile service is available can be passed as settings to limit where tiles are requested, a performance enhancement for both the visual and the tile service. The following table gives an overview of all settings available in the **Format** pane available in the **Tile layer** section.
