Tile Server

TileServer is a hosting technology for fast web 2.0 interactive online maps, derived from geospatial data, ortophotos or scanned maps. The maps are distributed from multiple servers, the service is much faster and more reliable then the traditional forms of online publishing of maps and the system is able to handle large number of visitors.

Viewers

The maps are displayable in any web browser with a customizable JavaScript API based on OpenLayers or via one of the popular mapping APIs such as Google Maps API or Microsoft Bing Maps SDK.

The format of the map distribution is excellent for other compatible software viewers and GIS applications, and even for use on mobile devices such as Apple iPhone, Android phones like Google Nexus One or devices such as Apple iPad.

Tile Server is also able to provide image data for interactive 3D visualization in the Google Earth desktop application or the Google Earth API web browser plugin.

The online service follows these standards:

OpenGIS Web Map Tiling Standard (OGC WMTS)
OSGeo Tile Map Service (OSGEO TMS)
Microsoft Bing Maps QuadKey

Statistics & Data Protection

The system generates detailed statistics about the use of mapping data by online visitors. The geodata can be watermarked and protected against the downloading. Maps are either available publicly or only to the registered visitors.
