Hi

I tried simply concatenating vector tiles, this is supported by the protocol but only works if the layers have different names. The layer for these tiles is always "occurrence", so it doesn't quite work.

https://labs.gbif.org/~mblissett/2018/08/concatenate-vector-tiles/ has a hack to make this work, but it's probably just as easy to add multiple layers to a map.

Okay, sounds good, I will not use them.

    We are exploring alternatives (elasticsearch based) but it will be
    a while before ready.

    Thanks

    Thanks Tim/Matt,

    Right, the BOTH example is what I'm looking for. Great, didn't
    realize that adhoc would work!  The use case is this WIP project
    https://github.com/ropensci/phylodiv where the idea is to let
    users quickly visualize biodiversity of taxa of a phylogeny (e.g.,
    comparing clade A vs. B, species A vs. B, genus X vs. genus Y,
    etc.), and there's a lot more possible user questions I can handle
    if I can include multiple taxa in a map API query.  So I think
    adhoc may be fast enough to give users that quick response they'd
    need for exploring many questions quickly (much faster than
    downloading full occurrence data, and just a bit slower than
    density maps).

    Best, Scott

        Hi,

        A tile for the western hemisphere showing:

http://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0...@1x.png?srs=EPSG:4326&bin=hex&taxonKey=8596&style=purpleYellow-noborder.poly

        Both:
        
http://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0...@1x.png?srs=EPSG:4326&bin=hex&taxonKey=5231190&taxonKey=8596&style=purpleYellow-noborder.poly

        I think the both example is what Scott's asking for, and it
        isn't supported
        
<https://github.com/gbif/maps/blob/master/vectortile-server/src/main/java/org/gbif/maps/resource/Params.java#L69>.

        It /is/ supported with an ad-hoc search, but these are usually
        much slower:
        
http://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/adhoc/0/0/0...@1x.png?srs=EPSG:4326&bin=hex&taxonKey=5231190&taxonKey=8596&style=purpleYellow-noborder.poly

        I've made an issue for it:
        https://github.com/gbif/maps/issues/27
        <https://github.com/gbif/maps/issues/27> since it's not the
        first time this has been requested. The previous request was
        for different colours to be applied to each taxon, which is
        more complicated and different to just adding several taxa's
        occurrences together.

        Cheers,

        Matt

            Or have I misunderstood something?

            API ?

            Hello!

            Are there any plans to allow passing any of the primary
            parameters (taxonKey, datasetKey, country, publishingOrg,
            publishingCountry) more than once. e.g.

            ...?taxonKey=1&taxonKey=2

            or comma separated. Perhaps up to some max number?

            Or is there a good reason not to suppor that? Woud it lead
            to jobs that run too long on your servers?

            Thanks! Scott
