 ### Render service
 
-[Render V2 service] introduces a new version of the [Get Map Tile V2 API] that supports using Azure Maps tiles not only in the Azure Maps SDKs but other map controls as well. It includes raster and vector tile formats, 256x256 or 512x512 tile sizes (where applicable) and numerous map types such as road, weather, contour, or map tiles. For a complete list, see [TilesetID] in the REST API documentation. It's recommended that you use Render V2 service instead of Render service V1. You're required to display the appropriate copyright attribution on the map anytime you use the Azure Maps Render V2 service, either as basemaps or layers, in any third-party map control. For more information, see [How to use the Get Map Attribution API].

 # Azure Maps render coverage
 
-The render coverage tables below list the countries/regions that support Azure Maps road tiles. Both raster and vector tiles are supported. At the lowest resolution, the entire world fits in a single tile. At the highest resolution, a single tile represents 38 square meters. You'll see more details about continents, regions, cities, and individual streets as you zoom in the map. For more information about tiles, see [Zoom levels and tile grid](zoom-levels-and-tile-grid.md).
