Using Cadcorp Tile Service with Bing Maps and Google Maps

For GeognoSIS to serve data to Bing Maps and Google Maps, enable the Cadcorp Tile Service for the required Map. GeognoSIS Manager includes a test platform for previewing the Cadcorp Tile Service against a background of Bing Maps and Google Maps.

See also Web Services > Miscellaneous.

TIP: The displayed options allow you to merely preview the data being served from GeognoSIS over data from these third party services. For this preview, an API Key is required for both services which can be added inside Properties.

Maps enabled to serve as Cadcorp Tile Service are listed on the appropriate tile.

Click View to configure the map and select it for display over the selected mapping.

Click View again to open the preview service.
