1. A method comprising facilitating access, including granting access rights, to an interface to allow access to a service via a network, the service configured to:

  • in response to receiving a request for a particular tile of dynamic content, determine a generation time, wherein the generation time is a time when the particular tile of dynamic content was most recently generated based on particular vector data associated with the particular tile;

    determine an update time, wherein the update time is a time when the particular vector data was most recently updated;

    determine whether the generation time is later than the update time; and

    cause the particular tile to be generated based on the particular vector data in response to determining that the generation time is not later than the update time, by determining whether data indicating the particular tile is already included in a queue that indicates any tiles to be generated from associated vector data if data indicating the particular tile is not already included in the queue, then cause data indicating the particular tile to be added to the queue; and

    if data indicating the particular tile is already included in the queue, then cause data not to be added the queue; and

    the method further comprises returning the particular tile of dynamic content via the network.
