The hexagonal grid only looks different from a staggered map if the Tile Side Length property of the map isn’t left at 0. See also the topic introducing the hex support in Tiled:

> [@Support for Hexagonal maps added](http://discourse.mapeditor.org/t/support-for-hexagonal-maps-added/47):

> In the latest daily builds, support for hexagonal maps is available. This feature was sponsored by [CodePoKE](http://codepoke.net/) (GJ Roelofs), providing me with the incentive to support all 4 variations of the [offset coordinate system](http://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/#coordinates). In Tiled this map type is called “Hexagonal (Staggered)”, and the rendering code is now also used for the similar “Isometric (Staggered)” maps. Example based on [http://opengameart.org/content/pixel-hex-tilesets-enhanced:](http://opengameart.org/content/pixel-hex-tilesets-enhanced:) [image] The configurations Tiled supports are as follows: S…
